[quote="ALI T"][quote="Frank Lay"]It makes perfect sense for the council to charge the market value for a new plate, If they are able to be sold on then that is perfectly fair.

As for any new test centre, a company the size of lrt tests on their own premises. Smaller companies use Livingston for tests, driving tests etc.
So there is no need for somewhere else in the area for buses.[/quote]
yes but the market value is zero.
just ask the council.and the courts.

its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

the council cannot make a profit from licenses fee's [b]period !!![/b]

this idea's a non starter unless someone can prove different[/quote]


As you say it is only worth what someone will pay for it, and that's the market value, and it's not zero.

You can say it is buying a company and not the plate, but that is just technicalities, in reality it is the plate that is being paid for.

Jezus what planet are you two living on??

But the council is not allowing the issue of casino licences to people who only intend to sell the licence on to someone else.

Just look at the crowd from ecph and their friends that are going to court because they didnt get a plate recently.
One of them is from HAMPSHIRE, dont tell me he should get a plate or that he seriously want to operate an Edinburgh taxi. He only wants it to sell on.

they don't have to because they would simply go and get there own casino license for the small price of the application fee.
casino licenses are worth what every other public license is worth.......
feck all.

haven't we done this already with the pilot scenario of dougies,its pash
and Dougie knows its pash otherwise he would have been able to back up his claims,he couldn't because he was handicapped by the facts.

besides that not what you said and its not what i was responding to.

you said it was fair for the council to sell plates for 40k as long as they can be sold on.

the 40k must surely reflect in some way the value of the business,with an annual turnover of less than 50k.

that said! i compared that to the value of a casino's turnover and worked it backwards,and right enough a casino licenses would be worth millions.

however there not thats because this is pie in the sky nonsense.
dreamed up by really thick(Dougie and Eric Barrie) pll,who are that [edited by admin] scared of losing there status,and thats all it is,that they would resort to such utter madness.
i cannot believe that anyone would think this is a good idea,nor can i believe that anyone would actually believe that this is in anyway possible

Just a wee point on Casino Licences!!! THERE IS A LIMIT on how many Casino's that can operate within a Town/City, gambling maybe taxfree but the trade is heavily regulated

On the 40k we will see?

Dougie the council has orchestrated the current situ so that the courts decide what happens.
they are doing this so that they get rid of the ipl.
get rid of the current apps.
and if they ever have to de-restrict,then they are not to blame because the courts made them do it.

and you think after freeing themselves of this possible obligation that they would then offer to guarantee your investment


what don't you get about this.
this is not about you, and you being looked after by the system,its about the system looking after itself.


only a fool would believe otherwise.

you paid yer money and took yer chances
stop bleating on, its pathetic.

Imagine being so inadequate you need to wear a taxi and plate like a badge of honour? They appear to think buying into the council's plate scam, gives them some sort of super cabby status. I sometime wonder how pathetic and desperate one would have to be to believe this nonsense.

As desperate and pathetic as Dougie IO suspect.

What is it they say? A fool and his mind are easily parted

The Money i paid is EH insignificant 17k 9 years ago The profit on that EH Win Win

You are missing the point on the idea of Higher New Apps fee!!! The council will NOT be SELLING anything It will be as it is i'm afraid, 40k to operate the plate, the plate will be still owned by the council, as it is. We the current operators will trade the operational rights as we currently do The higher Fee is another way too RESTRICT and any increases in plates will still be subject to Survey's of demand, the higher fee eliminates the carpetbaggers from the guy's who genuinly want to operate a plate, making it easier to allocate any increases in plates. Guy's who genuinly want to operate a plate will have no problem paying 40k as they currently do This way any investor has the potential to get much of their investment back as currently happens This system is Fair and without discrimination

40k is only a figure, it may be more, it maybe less but will reflect the level of investment as is
