I HAVE received a letter from Cherwell and South Northants electoral registration telling me I would lose my electoral registration rights as “In my opinion...you no longer reside there”.
What an incompetent farce. My wife (she also received a letter) and I registered two years ago when we moved to this property.
On what basis did ‘The Electoral Registration Officer’ (no name) make this decision?
We have no other properties and have spent no more than a fortnight away in two years. Will Cherwell agree to forego our council tax hereafter?
We now have to face a bureaucratic farce of writing (the phone number supplied is a recorded message telling you to write) for the chance of an interview where we will be able to plead that we do indeed still live at this address.
Who is responsible for this state of affairs?
