I have just had a phone call from another operator in the town who said that he had just been down to our licensing department and he has been told that the department is closing and they do not know what else will be happening.
This could be interesting.

The council has a legal duty to license, they cannot shut up shop etc.

What has happened in Adur and Worthing is the same office licenses both council's fleet, which is what maybe happening in your manor.

I think that eventually our licensing could be carried out by another council such as Charnwood. we will have to wait and see. All we know at the moment is that there are to be cuts to licensing.

The Traffic commisioners have a habit of acting on irregularities and the wrong doings of a single vehicle or two and taking action over them whilst at the same time ignore such a history of wrong doings and sharp practices by the owners and go on to offer out future licences like confetti regardless of past form.

Such actions as this by the Traffic Commisioners are no more than Pyrrihic Victories. #-o
