£65 p/w IS the price of the permit, as I am a station only driver, and do not have the circuit radio. Full rent with radio is £102.

And you can only wear the council badge by law :wink:
As you dont have a radio are you free to pick up off the street as well :?:

So each driver is paying £3,300 a year? :shock:

Actually it is £3380 per year to work the station, and yes I can pick up off the street.

I only posted on here to find out if other "station drivers" put on any kind of charge. e.g. drivers picking up from heathrow are allowed to add £2 (?)

We pay £0.00 per year to work our local station but there is only a limited amount of work from there so most don't bother
