I got another one this morning - so I telephoned the licensing department at the council - the leaflet was from 'Helpmates Ltd' - a company not a charity and they do not have a license to collect with HBC.
The council have asked that if you get any leaflets like this through the door that you take them down to the offices on Cannon Street - they are trying to combat this problem and where possible (resources permitting) they are lying in wait for the collectors.
You can telephone Licensing on 01254 380616 or e-mail
