True.....but maybe those areas with less licensed vehicles should pay more than those with lots

Bolton Council

HC Licence - £91 per six months
Driver Licence (1st) - £151
Renewal - £81
Operator
1 Car £140
2-5 £234
6-10 £336
Upto £837 for 31-35

PH
PH licence 1st ap £131 (plus CRB)
Renewal £41 pa
Vehicle Licence £136 pa

so somewhere like (say) Eigg with maybe 2 PH or HC plated vehicles should be charging £10K a year then?

erm.......

i think the councils who have realised the plating game is a nic earner will just milk it

and errm.....the LA that sees the licensing department as a nice little earner will have an uphill battle against caselaw.
