I've gone as far as the Chief Executive Officer, advised by the same person who stated that the above form was required. He sided with the Department Head.
But going between Council, DFT, DVLA & VOSA, all lead me to believe one thing. There is no way that the present system can cope with someone like me. Someone who takes the demands of one party to another, who passes me onto another party who tells me that there are a number of options
i) Get the vehicle taxed. For that the DVLA were contacted. Two hours spent waiting whilst they
tried to find the correct paperwork.
ii) Operate the vehicle illegally!!
Quads are not covered in any way by the electric assist regulations & the DFT response of remove one of the wheels to make it come under the rules for electric assist, wasn't very helpful. Other than that, VOSA & the then SVA, now superseded, & get them to test it & certify it then go back to the DVLA & get it, the Brox, taxed & the trailer registered in my name, as the keeper(DFT response).
As for the Waste Carriers Permit, required to allow me to enter their sites with either Brox or Brox & trailer, DOE have been "warned about me" by the DFT.
Council also insist that the vehicle have independent braking. I thought they meant seperate levers for all four wheels. They actually meant front & rear brakes were required. Somewhat suprised when they were informed that most bikes already have this in place.

I had this... Been refused entry as a pedestrian and on a bike, and prior to this ban they tried to charge me the full commercial trailer rate for the Carry Freedom
Asked for copies of the risk assessment, and then repeated under the FoI apparently there wasn't one!

Tried asking for copies of the Risk Assesment, done just the day before by the person who insists that the required forms be filled, to be told that there had been no risk assesment when the application was made in writing.
Nice to know that I'm not the only one banned though.
Apologies for the wording in my previous post. On reading after posting it seems as though I'm blowing my own trumpet a bit too much.
