Simon, SLWCN is now a success. I would say your comment was correct some time back but we now know more than the Councils ;)

It has taken a long time in coming but we had to do a lot of research etc...

Name me one association that has managed to get the Police, Council, City Centre Manager all around the table.

Yes it was not working but it will. Why because all licensed window cleaners are working together. SLWCN is not about individuals it's everyone that is licensed and that is why it will work.

It has been one hard slog but we have got there in the end. The fix will not be over night but it will come. And the membership is now increasing with new members each day as everyone now has belief that change is coming.

Soon there will be a number published to report unlicensed window cleaners, and the operator will not know what has hit them ;)

The Councils have given the SLWCN their full backing and are now working with the SLWCN in publishing a leaflet urging householders to check the list of licenced window cleaners. There is a lot of other things happening but these will be released after futher meetings which we will be holding.

That is how far we have come, and another note we are asking them to sell wfp with regards H&S issues to help those who have invested in wfp. The list goes on.

I undersatnd all the negative thoughts but there is always a way, you just need to look for it.

Cheers

Doug



Hi Doug,

I was just taking figures off the website. If the website is inaccurate and doesn't show the correct figures then perhaps it needs to be up-dated.

Maybe put a donation button on your site, after all the licensed window cleaners are to benefit , so should have an option to contribute financially.

Hi Simon, 

We have only got to the stage where they have agreed to take action so hopefully in 6 months or so the figures will have doubled with unlicensed window cleaners.

Dave,

Thanks for the idea , will try and set it up.

A licence no way.
   An inland revenue register of window cleaners OK.
If the tax man wants his cut from us all, then it's in his interest to have a register of all window cleaners. Give all of us a registration number that we can put on our windscreens, and on our correspondence.
Make it illegal to trade unregistered.
One registration number lets you trade in any area.
They bare the expense, and they reap the rewards.
We pay nothing but the taxes due.
What could be more simple than that?
Problem sorted. Dai

I'll end up with so many things stuck on my windscreen that I won't be able to see where I'm going .  Maybe I'll drive better.   ;D   .
