Trusts are generally set up to protect, administer and
distribute valuable property. It is common for such property to
include cash, shares, investment portfolios, immoveable property
and even pets. However, in a world first, a trust is to be created
in Jersey in order to hold, manage and protect a forthcoming stream

the help of Digital Jersey and the Jersey Office of the Information
Commissioner and has been named 'LifeCycle'.

What is it for?
The information to be created is data about the activities of
island cyclists as they move around Jersey. The aim is to promote

information such as the most common journeys islanders take, road
conditions, collisions, swerving and braking and general conduct on
the road network. Ultimately, the goal is to identify the
island's traffic
