So the plateholders in Adelaide are coining it in and values are soaring due to high rentals but the drivers are earning jack.

And in Brighton the plateholders are coining it in and the drivers are paying through the nose for rentals - over 5 years the owner will receive £100-150,000 in rent.

Ditto Liverpool according to the numbers in the other thread.

York, eight grand a year just for the plate.

Aye, great thing this restricted numbers, everyone's a winner

But it doesn't represent everywhere Fae, that's the issue, the examples above are way too much, but in other cities where it is as low as buying your own car and running it or lower it's a different case.

I love it when they have nothing to say of any substance so they just repeat what everyone knows. Classic tactics.

"A spokesman for the Met Office said 'We're the Met Office and we deal with the weather. Today is Sunday and the sun is out.'"

So if it's not as bad as the worst then it's OK then?

And how do you legislate for your preferred option?

Instead of the no significant unmet demand test it's the "where it is as low as buying your own car and running it or lower it's a different case".

Sounds like a field day for the courts!!

Well no, the unmet demand is a regulator in it's own right, and there is no other real way regarding numbers, however like you and Sussex I also don't like someone sitting around whoring plates out, the idea is one man for one man to get a living from, this 5+ plate ownership isn't really what the trade is all about, and locally it was non existant up till about 15 years ago, I think the correct solution would be to insist the multi plate holder sell on the surplus above one so they re-coupe their outlay and the rule would have to be from then on, one plate per one name.
