I attended our Council Licensing committee meeting last night because they were discussing my proposal for a tariff increase. This was passed unanimously by the committee. One of the committee is in a rather large chair that can't fit into any of the available vehicles in the town. Another member of the committee stated that only 3 years previously she had been on an appeals committee that had agreed to license a vehicle that could take any size wheelchair. I pointed out that the vehicle in question was one of my vehicles and indeed it could take any size wheelchair. She asked where it was now if, as had been stated, there were none available? My answer, It had to come off the road due to the Councils age policy.

Taken to the ultimate conclusion (on behalf the vocal minority) we should all run WAV's 24/7 for the very biggest of wheelchairs, patently that's a ridiculous requirement |

The Councillor in a wheel chair is a he. It is an electric wheelchair and has a range of around 7 miles so most of the time he doesn't need a taxi. He was up for Mayor a couple of years ago and that would have been a problem for the council because they would have had to find a vehicle from somewhere to get him to all the functions. |
