Dear Tim

Something’s bothering me and I wonder if you can help set my mind at rest.

St Peter’s has now twice written to me using my address details from the Waverley electoral roll (as indeed has a firm of accountants). But I am clearly opted out of appearing in the edited register.

Can you explain to me the process by which the church gains access to Waverley’s full electoral roll details? Is this done informally, or does St Peters buy a register from Waverley? And does it expect to get and use the edited register or the full register?

Do call if you want to understand where I’m coming from on this (or see http://www.idealgovernment.com)

Yours sincerely

William Heath
