Ours issue a badge at £100 per year or £250 for three. No refunds if it gets suspended or revoked though (it's in the T&C's).

I wonder about these things......I thought the council were only entitled to recover the cost of issuing the badge........if thats the case it costs the same to issue a 1 year license as 3.

Isn't that just the drivers badge? not the operators licence or the vehicle licence but just the drivers badge?
