£145/week

Thats invoices paid

£62,000 in 8 years including:-

£10,000 recycling old plates

£5257 on new plate holders

£13,000 CRB

£11,000 DBS

If only I could find what they TOOK by way of fees in 8 years.............




Vehicle licence £200/year x 100 x 8 = £160,000

Driver badges £125/year x 150 x 8 = £150,000

Total = £310,000 Cost of service (invoiced) £62,000

used taxi plates HAVE to be disposed of via a specialist security shredding service I believe under data protection regulations

Suspect that if it was normal for LAs to spend that kind of money on it then we would have heard about it elsewhere by now.

Mind you, they do have door plates/stickers there as well.

And maybe they're plates like this...
