I have stated in a previous thread about Flintshires large Licensing bill, it was over £870 all in. Powys would be £130 average per year + medical/compliance/meter/top sign/crb another £430 = £560. The following year it would be a more managable £200 as I would of already bought the new meter and top sign.

I contacted Powys CC Licensing & they said I could have a HC without a Knowledge test-no problem £100/3 year badge £100/1 yr plate + crb etc. I then told the officer my address; [Flintshire] and could I still get licensed with them? Answer …NO!

If I was you I would join a national union/association and get them to take that up for you.

I know of one that would love the challenge. :wink:

Wasn't the Wrexham case dropped due to lack of funds?

Not sure Captain, seems to have gone very quiet. Me thinks they were on to get a good hiding in court[Wrexham Council] so they have quietly let it go. Somebody in their legal department has told them that they are not responsible for the law making in Britain and the Government is. :roll:

I thank you for the offer but I would have to go to Welshpool to get licensed but its not worth the hassle. By the time I got them to chage their minds They would probably bring in a local knowledge test just to pi** me off.
