As I originally started this thread, it's seems about time to refresh it to see if anyone has any more to report.

From what I can see most LAs have decided that they're unlikely to make much money out of it after all and have been dragging their heels as much as possible.

Are the actual license application forms even available yet ? - the last time I spoke the landlord of the pub where we hold a singaround, he was still waiting to see one.


From what I can see, councils are hoping to go on charging for PELs under the old system for as long as possible.
