Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
SMS received from Haringey Council
I have received a SMS today from Haringey Council, despite my never giving them consent to use my number for this purpose.
It also seems I can't block future contact from that account.
Has anyone got any experience with this, specifically: is there any kind of opt-out? and can I get my number removed from LBH's database?
Thanks all

Thanks for this, and I will follow up.
But - as I know I never gave LBH my number - I suspect there is another source for the information.
We will see.

Redbridge Council have the same system in place, but they offer a very clear 'Opt-Out'
LBH make no such offer:
