Yes we have - several. At the present time all EROs here have been told to
stop selling the electoral roll for direct marketing purposes. They are
preparing a Rolling Register which does not come into play until next year
when yes, they will have two separate lists and this is where the problem
lies. I believe a Judicial Review is to come out on this and not sure where
they are at with this but I know it is due soon because of the current
situation...at least that is the cae in Scotland.
Whilst on this subject - I have been told that the Post Office also sell
lists not sure what personal details but would assume name, address. Anyone
know anything about this? I think it may be called PATH...am not absolutely
sure about this but anyone with info. can you help?
