You are implying my basic analysis is grossly erroneous. Please do explain why you think it so.

Sorry CamOp, reading your reply to my post, it really doesn't make any sense. Are you ironically mocking my implication of a lack of basic English skills within the profession, or did some extra words/letters creep in there?

You don'rt seem to have made any allowance for equipment purchase and maintenance. Nor for overheads such as transport and office premises.

All of which ultimately goes into somebodys pocket somewhere.

Still a nice little earner for all concerned for something that is essentially nothing more than a taxpayer funded non-job!

I did! That was the "/ 2", for the assumption "- the revenue pays for the wages and new/existing equipment equally".
I would be surprised if a local authority group had to pay a significant amount for a lease; if anything, wouldn't that be part of the £20M profit?. Or are they on private land?

As Dusty rightly pointed out, maintenance is mostly wages (operator wages); the 'parts' cost is a small portion of the maintenance bill.

The speed detection equipment is a one time buy. Subsequent to that, an operator replacing film in gatsos every week, as well as processing the information on the films, is almost all labour (unless a reel of 800 shot film costs £24,000); an operator using an LTI is all labour.

The vast majority are now digital, so no film to develop.
Just a straight download.

My apologies.
