I've been "INVITED" to take part in a census test. I do not want to participate. When theres a census I will fill it in. Why do they need to test it? I have took part before without a test. Who are they testing, the census people or the public? You keep sending letters and knocking on the door like its compulsory to part with all my details at tea-time. I don't give details to strangers on the doorstep. Please GO AWAY. Either its an invite, or compulsory .... Anyway, it will only apply to the legal citizens you have knowledge of anyway, not the unregistered ones who won't fill forms or open the door!

I have now had 3 acquaintances who have been targeted - they have all had several letters, visited by different people at least 3 times. They have run the contact number on the letter to explain that they are not happy to fill in forms etc but are still being harassed. One is a lady in her late 60s, the other has learning difficulties and has limited reading ability, and the other carer of a mentally ill person.

Hello All,


Wow so many questions, i will attempt to answer for you.


1. If you do not want to participate in the census test all you need to do is inform the census officer of a refusel, job done.


2. The 2017 test is about testing new equipment, technology and questions, for example householders now are encourage to go online for the first time and complete.


3. 3 reminders were sent out, and up to five visits are carried out to support those householders to complete the questionnaire. The only way to stop the visits or reminders is to either complete the questionnaire online, or refused to complete.


3. Censor Officers have been dispatched during the evening times and at weekends because that is the most likely time householders will be at home.


4. Sorry to learn you do not open the door to people you dont know, perhaps you could of telephoned the public helpline and inform the call centre you did not want to take part, as unless the census staff are made aware, they will simply return.


5. sorry to learn the public number has been used, and your still getting visits, normally a refuel will stop all visits.


The one good news to share is the test period has now ended, so you will no longer be visited or have furture reminders sent.


Have a good day

Assuming you have proof of being an official census coordinator?

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.

      So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
