Local councils’ and Cumbria Constabulary are warning residents
to check the small print before donating clothes using a house to
house charity collection.
Carlisle City Council licenses house to house collections for
charitable purposes. These may involve a request for cash donations
by returning envelopes or collecting donated items, usually
clothing. Some large national charities are authorised by the Home
Office and are exempt from this requirement.

Around 5,000 voters who have arranged to vote by post will soon
be receiving a letter from Carlisle City Council asking them to
provide a fresh signature, or lose their chance to vote using a
postal vote in this May’s City Council Elections.
Under the Representation of the People (England and Wales)
Regulations 2001, Electoral Registration Officers must, by 31
January each year, send every person who remains an absent voter
and whose signature held on the personal identifiers record is more
than five years old, a notice requiring them to provide a fresh
signature if they wish to remain an absent voter.
