@DVSAgovuk the driving practical test situation is out of hand, immediate action must be taken!
There are no tests available in my 7 local test Center’s at all, as an ADI it’s becoming impossible to do my job.

@Hillingdon driving instructors are being denied the Additional Restrictions Grant as we 'work from home'. Ever tried doing a driving lesson at home? Please support us!

@VeryGrumpyKev @EnfieldCouncil @ESouthgateCon @EnfieldDispatch @Enfield_Indy @FeryalClark @EnfConservative Many instructors have received no income since December! £800-£1k expenses per month, ARG will help them back on the road to help the economy. Learners are desperate to resume lessons! #ADIARGSupport

@tandridgenews @tandridgeLC @beisgovuk Driving instructors on their knees with big business costs and no income for >7months. @TandridgeDC have £1.78million still in their pot. HELP!

@lutoncouncil Your constituents will want driving lessons too! Many instructors can’t afford to work because you don’t recognise them as a business and refuse ARG payments

@VeryGrumpyKev @MATatBucks @ThomBucksHerald SEISS and CJRS are both Government Grants to cover lost salaries, ARG and LRGS are designed to help with Business Expenses. Your ‘Discretion’ is discriminatory and against Government Guidelines points 29-31! #ADIARGSupport

[jon morton @jonmorton20]

Why is it a postcode lottery??? Receipt of SEISS should not prevent driving instructors from receiving ARG support.
Check points 29 & 31 of government guidelines!!

@AndyBurnhamGM @MayorofGM Can you have a word with @ManCityCouncil about the ARG. They think that UC & SEISS is to pay business expenses?! Those payments are the only money we have to live off, how can we support our businesses too? #ADIARGSupport

[Michael Di-Scala @madiscala]

@EnfieldCouncil why are driving instructors not getting the ARG when we qualify under the GOV guidelines?

@grantshapps @CharlotteV can you please help our industry. Some instructors have overheads larger than some shops but are being refused ARG. Whereas shops received various grants and now receiving ARG as well. Wasn’t the ARG for those who hasn’t received help? #ADIARGSupport

[Michael B Gambin @NumeroUnouk]

@BBCBreakfast @GMB @itvnews @Channel4News @SkyNewsBreak @SkyNews please check out the #ADIARGSupport to see the unfair and non uniform way councils are treating Driving Instructors. Some of us have overheads greater than some shops, but most councils aren’t funding instructors.

[Michael B Gambin @NumeroUnouk]

haven’t and are getting penalised for it. We need help!

Driving instructors are being denied the Additional Restrictions Grant as we 'work from home' with some councils but not others. We still pay for HP, insurance, VED, phone & PLI on vehicles costing £800 a month. As a company I am 10k down. We’ve stuck to the law when others

[Michael B Gambin @NumeroUnouk]

Why are Enfield not covering instructors which have huge overheads which still need to be paid. Shall we all stop paying our council tax to recoup the money lost? #ADIARGSupport

[Michael B Gambin @NumeroUnouk]

@ESouthgateCon @Bambos_MP @EnfConservative #enfield #ADIARGSupport how is it fair that some get grants but others don’t. As a limited company we haven’t received a penny of grants. EVER! So shall I not pay my corporation tax for the next 10 years to recoup our losses?

[CarolG @carolgreenwood]

@LBofBromley

If only Driving Instructors earned over £50k! Most earn a modest income but we have high outgoings! Our offices have 4 wheels and can do 70mph. ARG was designed to help businesses like ours!

Driving instructors are being denied the Additional Restrictions Grant as they apparently "work from home". Ever tried doing a driving lesson at home? Please support them! #ADIARGSupport @BorisJohnson @UxbridgeGazette #UxbridgeAndSouthRuislip #MyDaugher @Mark_J_Harper

[CarolG @carolgreenwood]

@ManCityCouncil Discretionary does not mean you can rewrite the Government Guidelines, ARG were designed for SME Businesses- how small do we need to be? One instructor, premises that has wheels and can go 70mph, 20-30 weekly customers! #ADIARGSupport
