Re: Road Tax Renewal - no longer through JCCSmart

Road Tax renewal Does his mean that every January when I come to tax my Car, which is kept at the airport, I cannot use JCC and have to find another way to pay this tax from the UK. Anyone with a concrete idea on how this will work? Yes - it works as it says - instead of going to JCC Smart to pay y...

Re: Road Tax Renewal - no longer through JCCSmart

The point is, if the Min of Transport is in such chaos now, how could they handle all the registrations for new road tax cum next January? Dee It's an online service so no need for appointments/queuing regardless when renewed. Flooding aside, generally Govt. depts. have improved their online facili...

Or is it both?
It's Road Tax Renewal - as shown in the link - it's just the way it translates.

Re: Police meet to discuss criminalisation of false complaints

Think this may be misunderstood - the new bill under discussion is not related to false/fake complaints about businesses.

It relates to fake and/or malicious complaints made against police officers, which would become a criminal offence under the proposals.

Re: British husband to face murder charges after all

Whilst completely understanding the need to ensure that the law is followed and that we need to be mindful that the circumstance fit the charge. It would seem to me to be unusually cruel to offer a charge of manslaughter only to withdraw that after several weeks/months of discussion. Surely there mu...

Re: Ben Fogle's Lost Worlds - Cyprus

Yes, its true that Greek Cypriots want a solution , but ONLY on their terms. Which as I understand it involve a return to the situation when the UN issued their resolution in a UN resolution based on the ceasefire lines circa 1974. From which they refuse to move forward. Sorry but that simply is no...

Re: More than 7 million passengers expected in 2022

The CM's headline should really read passenger traffic to exceed 7 million - not passengers.

Passenger traffic at the airports is expected to be around 7.5 million and as I understand it relates to
the number of arrivals & departures combined at the airports.
