The Consumer Council for Postal Services was constituted under section 2 of the Postal Services Act 2000. By another part of the section the Post Office Users National Councils were abolished. The role of Postwatch is to protect, promote and develop the interests of all customers of postal services in the UK. Postwatch works for a better overall postal service for customers, advising Government, the Regulator (Postcomm) and Royal Mail Group on consumer views, demands and needs.
Consumer Focus was created on 1 October 2008 following the merger of Energywatch, Postwatch, and the National Consumer Council.
