A driver given a Clean Air Zone fine was sent the details of eight other people when he got his penalty in the post. The letters contained the full name, addresses and vehicle registrations of the other motorists - a breach of GDPR privacy rules.
The man, who did not want to be named, received his own penalty notice in an envelope from Bristol City Council containing a total of 18 pages, with his fine at the top of the pile. All the addressees had first names starting with the same letter of the alphabet.
He sent anonymous letters out to the named individuals, informing them that their data has been breached. After getting their letters, several of the named individuals contacted Bristol Live saying they were unaware their personal data had been sent to a stranger.
