I can’t see the haulage industry complaining about competition at the moment when there aren’t enough trucks and drivers anyway, the problem is if tractor drivers have to have a hgv licence what is to stop them leaving agriculture to earn a lot more money
Someone will get run over, I came through that just as the police got them to the side of the road. Loads of police both sides of the motorway, but hard to control and a lot to distract drivers
whether or not your gp should be doing these reports either for firearms or LGV is irrelevant as in both cases a government agency is insisting on them so here we are in the middle taking flak from both sides
My reminder came 12 weeks before the renewal date but still waiting for doctors with 5 weeks to go. Speaking to the firearms officer this afternoon at least 40% of surgeries both in town and in the countryside are refusing to fill in the forms in this area. Also the commercial companies that...
Our practice hasn’t got a lead doctor so it could be anyone as is part of a group of practices so you couldn’t put on the form who your gp is. The next thing is if they run you out of time and your licence expires you have to start with a new licence application which is a whole new can of worms...
It’s not the doctor you are dealing with, it’s the practice manager. Since our rural practice was taken over by a town centre one and then shut we don’t have an allocated doctor just whoever is available. I don’t suppose a doctor has anything to do with this.
Our firearms officer is fully aware of this, they are having trouble with surgeries around here doing the same, my guns will have to be lodged with a registered gun dealer in a months time, it takes about 8 weeks for Sussex police to process applications and I have lost about two months so far
My doctors won’t fill in the form because they object to people owning guns, so I have found a GP I know who will do it but I have got to get my med records. Now the doctors have to provide these within 28 days but you have to email them for a request form to do this. They ignored my email...
You download the doctors form but the rest you fill out on line, they say it takes 20 minutes but you can’t save it as you fill it in so if you can’t complete it in one go you start again.
There is no legal obligation on them at the moment to do this. I looked at moving doctors as another surgery will do these but due to COVID no new patients are being taken on
They have to give you a copy but in my case first you have to request a form then send it to them , they then have 28 days to do this. Problem is I am still waiting for the form.
Shotgun and firearm license are due in may, problem is our local doctors surgery shut and taken over by town centre one. They won’t fill in the form for the police because they object to people owning guns, which is fine as I have found a local doctor willing to do it but now the surgery won’t...
