Thanks to those who dropped in to see us at St John’s Parish Hall this week.
Our first ‘Jersey Consumer Fair … On the road’ event took place on the morning of Tuesday, 25 August, and we were delighted to be joined by Citizen’s Advice Jersey and the Jersey Office of the Information Commissioner.
Islanders had an opportunity to drop in and speak to representatives from all three organisations about any consumer issues or queries that they had. There were also free hot drinks and cakes for anyone who attended.
Our next ‘On the road’ event will take place at St Brelade’s Parish Hall at St Aubin on Thursday, 8 October, from 10.30am to 1.30pm. All are welcome.
We’re holding these smaller drop-in events ahead of our second Jersey Consumer Fair later this year, which we will be announcing the details of soon.

The Jersey Consumer Fair returns to St Helier’s Town Hall this month. So, what is in store, and why is it worth coming along?
Here's everything you need to know.
Storm Austen didn’t cause the kind of damage we saw when Storm Ciarán hit in 2023, but last week’s high winds and heavy rain still left their mark on some homes across the Island.
Slipped roof tiles, damaged fences, blocked gutters and the odd broken window mean that many Islanders will now be looking for someone to put things right.
Islanders posting parcels to friends, family or customers in the EU are being reminded that further customs changes come into force on Sunday, 1 November, and they could mean higher costs for the person receiving the parcel.
From that date, all goods sent into the EU will attract a new €2 Union Handling Fee. This is on top of the €3 customs duty fee that was introduced in July.
The Jersey Consumer Fair is back for a second year.
Come along to St Helier’s Town Hall on Saturday, 14 November, from 10am to 4pm, for free, face-to-face information and guidance on the issues that affect you every day.
Entry is free, you don’t need to book, and everyone is welcome.
With autumn storms on the way, now is the time to get your home – and your paperwork – ready.
When Storm Ciarán hit in 2023, our office helped many Islanders with insurance claims and appeals, and the same lessons came up again and again.
A little preparation now can save you a lot of stress, and money, later.
Save the date!
The Jersey Council’s Consumer Fair is back for a second year on Saturday, 14 November.
