If as my title says, what would happen would councils be at a lose,
I think owners would then buy the vehicles they wanted as there would be no more control on vehicle type
Any other suggestions as to what could happen

But in others areas I doubt councils would give a monkeys, providing punters could get reasonable access to PH. In many city suburbs that's what happen at present. |

Flintshire has only about 5 and now ppl dont even know how to flag a taxi down, its become an alien concept. 
Ten years on, drivers have who still have them will realise there no way they can afford to get another and will give up. |

Blood that ding sing is easily remedied, ether reach under the seats and feel for the bottom of the seat belt anchorage then trace the wire that comes from it to the plug that will be under the seat and disconnect it, or pop into your garage and get them to plug the comp in and turn it off, I did option 1 to both fronts in about 1 min |
