When the Eastbourne LO prepared her delimit report to councillors she did some research on the so-called flooding claim, in relation to councils who have recently delimited in Sussex.
Two examples given were Crawley where 24 new plates have been issued in the last six years since delimitation, and Worthing where only 5 have been issued since a SUD demand said they needed 8 new WAV plates.
In all fairness both of those areas are small fish, any major city that does it invites the carpetbaggers in, even with one plate one man rules they get around it, fair enough if the survey says there aren't enough of a specific type to meet demand, but even then it should be spooned in say 5 at a time and looked at again afterwards, the whole thing collapses when they say come in everyone, because once it's issued it's issued and if there's oversupply there's no way to take the plate back.
Free plates are useless without drivers. Decent entry standards for drivers will reduce a flood to a trickle, with no profit for carpet baggers or plate barons.
Delimit and allow anyone to get a drivers badge is a recipe for disaster.
