Salford council are considering de-regulation and according to their LO a meeting is to be held tomorrow night when an announcement is expected to be made.

Manchester and Stockport will be holding their breath.

I've heard they have decided to issue plates to only those who were on the waiting list, 60+ I think.

If Stockport decide the same, they will end up issuing close to 30 plates.

I suppose that is better than total de-regulation. What happens when a new list is started though, how long before they issue plates to them :?

Better for those who don't want total de-regulation and to be honest I don't believe total de-regulation works, but, that's only my experience and my opinion :D

Maybe in Scotland but its legal in England....although I think its something daft like registering an interest?

Not illegal.

I think the important point was that if a formal application had been submitted then that took priority over someone with a name on a waiting list who hadn't submitted an application.

I think the council was inviting formal applications from the waiting list when surrendered plates came up, but if no applications had been invited but a formal application was submitted then the waiting list was irrelevant.
