IN response to the letter from Mr J K Bailey, I thought that this could not possibly be correct with ever tougher data protection laws — and I should know as a Data Protection Officer, that Bolton Council could add everyone’s details to an open register without their permission.
So I re-read my letter from the council along with those of the other three voters registered in my household and it quite clearly states that we are not on the open register and gives details of how to be added to the open register.
May I suggest you get your facts right in future.
