"three million [licence] enforcement visits were carried out in 2015–16"
Where, FFS? They hassled me by post for the best part of 10 years(*) and I never once had an inspector turn up at my door. 3 million is about 1 household in 9, presuming 1 visit per. I wonder if they only target sink estates?
(*) I renew by direct debit but I've an odd address their licence checking database system couldn't handle. DB programmers shouldn't presume all addresses look like "123 Letsby Avenue".
