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.
