EVERYONE registered in Bolton who is on the Electoral Register will now be registered on the open register.

Everyone got a letter recently from Bolton Council, which means any business, company, or organisation can buy your details, name and address, etc.

I went to the council to have my details taken off, but was told it would be in September before they could do that.

I asked when they would be putting people’s details on the register and, guess what? They are already on it.

We should be asked if we want to go on the open register, not have to ask for our details to be taken off.
