to ignore this jury service letter

18 months ago i moved house. At my new address i registered with council tax the day i moved in and am on electoral roll here.
By a coincidence our cleaner also cleans at the old address. Every 6 months or so she bring a bundle of letters that the new occupant has put aside for us. Up till now it has mostly been junk, nothing urgent or important. However she gave me a bundle this week and in it was a letter summoning me to jury service last November.
DH says i should probably write to them informing them that we no longer live there and telling them my new address but i don't want to do this. They have made the error and to be honest i am not keen to do jury service at present - 3 yr old and job that is very pressured at the moment - taking time out would only add to the pressure when i was back. In 4 months doing jury service would probably be ok but i think they are unlikely to let me defer for these reasons.
So my question is: AIBU to do nothing and not inform them of their error as it is only by a fluke coincidence that i found out about it anyway and as it is their error i could not be blamed for missing the original date?

What letter?

Nothing to stop you writing on the envelope "no longer at this address, please return to sender"

Sorry, just seen that this was last November - ignore it now, no point in doing anything
