@MarkHCoatham @CPT_UK So that's what it looks like at your end

On the @CPT_UK #cptlive event this afternoon, keeping up to date and listening to the TC and DVSA about their plans for the coach sector 🚌 first up #psvar

Members will have just received an update about PSVAR after @CPT_UK received a letter from @CharlotteV today. The letter confirms that the Special Authorisations that expire 31 July will be extended, and also sets out the future plans the Government has for the regulations

Really looking forward to this event, having both the Chief Executive of @DVSAgovuk and the Senior Traffic Commissioner addressing an industry compliance event is something members will not want to miss...#CPTLive #Compliance #TravelSafe

Hundreds of thousands of jobs lost and zero income for 18 months. The travel industry has been the worst affected sector by the pandemic. The necessary tailored support from government is long overdue. Find the #speakupfortravel social media pack here: ow.ly/Hjum50Ff5xf

BREAKING: #Birmingham City Council has just announced that in order to assist with the transition to the new #CAZ there will be a grace period of 2 weeks until 14 June where charges for non-compliant vehicles will not be levied

The #Birmingham #CAZ came into force today covering all the roads within the A4540 Middleway Ring Road. It's a Class D so all non-compliant 4 wheeled vehicles that are not exempt must pay to enter £50 for PSVs and HGVs, £8 for everything else
