In a fury ! (rant alert)
I am totally disgusted with our City Council. Have just received not only a third electoral register form but also a rude notice saying that I will be fined a £1,000 if I do not return it with 14 days! The note says someone called to discuss the form but had no reply. I was here - have been here all morning - said person did not even knock - just shoved the form and the rude note through the letter box.
Am sending the form back with the following note attached:-
"
Electoral Services
York City Council
Sirs,
The enclosed is the THIRD form I have completed and returned to you this year!
People fought and died to give me the right to vote – I take that responsibility very seriously and object to being threatened with fines for non-compliance. I cannot be held accountable for the vagaries of our postal system.
Yours sincerely, "
That'll learn 'em!! If it doesn't I'll send the cats round.
