Media Coverage
A key part of the Jersey Consumer Council's role is raising awareness of, and commenting on, consumer issues that affect Islanders.
Look out for the Jersey Consumer Council's regular Friday page in the Jersey Evening Post, where we share consumer news, advice, and the latest 'Basket of Essential' grocery prices.
You can also listen to our Chairman, Carl Walker, on BBC Radio Jersey in a regular Monday lunchtime 'Consumer Carl' slot. You can listen back to these below.
In addition, we regularly feature in the local media, commenting on consumer issues, and you can see some of our recent appearances here.
