What can a council charge a PH or HC for by way of plates, badges, etc? is it JUST the cost in both cases? |

was considering why a 1 year badge is £90 when a 3 year badge is £240 |

Don't expect the answer that you are looking for though. It will be more complicated than that. I have spent the last 4 years trying to get the answers I have been looking for and I still haven't got them. |

if i avoid the question of outright cos but stick to why a 3 badge costs MORE than 3 times a 1 year badge it might confuse them.....confuses me anyway and why the cost goes up 2 weeks from an expiry date and why the badge fee (3 years) includes a DBS check when they neednt do one.... Quote: 1 year £90 leave it till within 2 weeks of expiry and its £130 3 year badge £283 leave it till within 2 weeks of expiry and its £323 I wouldnt mind so much if the 3 year badge was twice the cost of a 1 year and no DBS needed if 1 was current |

The cost of processing the badge, and the cost of processing and enforcement for the plate. Ask them for their costings, Granddad's bloody long post re fees is a good read for starters. |

I am not sure that they can include enforcement. There was a judgement. |

I've just realised this judgement wasn't (until now) in TDO's judgement database section. http://www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKSC/2015/25.html |

Since 2008 the hackney carriage and private hire trades in Sefton have experienced an unprecedented level of relatively low licence fees, for example typical fees for a drivers licence for a three year period are as follows: • Halton £168.50 • Knowsley £235.00 • Liverpool £150.00 • St Helens £180.00 • Sefton £57.60 • Wirral £129.00 |

I think the nub of the question is, is a 3 year badge more expensive to produce than a 1 year badge it cant be can it though id expect something like....."we average out costs across the badge range" |
