If you have a yearly crb check I assume you only get a one yr badge which is against the dft best practice guidance.Section 55.Section 61 crb checks says every 3yrs is best practice.What do the neigbouring Councils do,this may help support your case.

Driver's licence:- 2 years - £119, 3 years - £161.
http://www.glasgow.gov.uk/en/Business/L ... ensing.htm

Operator's Licence;- 2 years - £298, 3 years - £398.
http://www.glasgow.gov.uk/en/Business/L ... ensing.htm

You have to renew for a minimum of 2 years.

How does that compare???

Your badge is more expensive than mine....£55 for 1 year

We dont have an operators license in England for HC's......but if thats that a Proprietors license....ours lasts 1 year by law and mine cost £170.
