I may have missed a few posts but shouldnt you be taking this up with Rutland?

It was reported to Rutland 5 weeks ago. Rutland do not do any enforcement. You don't even need a vehicle inspection for a plate in Rutland, just an MOT certificate issued within the last 7 days.
Oh, no reply was received from Rutland. I have not received any acknowledgment from County Hall either.

Here is the response from my Council.

We can see what you are saying, but in this case the enforcement is in relation to a condition attached to the grant of the licence – which is in Rutland.
As they set the conditions and they are breaching Rutland conditions, we consider that they have the enforcement powers.

And my reply.

Let me get this right.
The vehicle is being used as a private hire vehicle contrary to the license conditions of both Rutland and Melton. So effectively without displaying the plate it is an unlicensed vehicle that is being used for the carriage of passengers for hire or reward in a controlled district. Have you asked to see the insurance policy, not just the certificate because my own policy states that the insurance is not valid if the vehicle is not being operated within the conditions that are applicable. Maybe a report to the police may be in order.
It could be an interesting situation if the vehicle is involved in a fatal accident whilst on the school run and it is mentioned in court that Rutland County Council, Melton Borough Council and Leicestershire County Council all knew about the situation and none of them did anything about it.
The irony is that drivers can run around without a plate on the vehicle but get sent home to change a light bulb.

I have received an email from her stating that the matter has been passed to Rutland.
Another case of passing the buck.

Your council have no powers to act on their own, in respect of licensing.
