Taxi Driver Online :: View topic - 1 year badge or 3 year badge?

I have been advised that in the last few weeks our Council discussed this issue and voted to keep the 1 year badge. A strange decision when you consider that the 3 year badge will most probably be the law shortly and also when you consider that our council only do a DVLA check every 3 years and a DBS check every 3 years and a medical check every 3 years. :roll:

Well it's their choice at the moment and they've exercised their right to choose a 1 year badge.

Yes but why have an annual badge but only check everything every 3 years?

The subject was actually raised by the licensing department, based on the deregulation bill proposals but it seems that the Council don't agree with the proposal.

Once you have a new DBS check and pay the update fee why would they recheck? our LA are in hiding, our badge fee of £145/year inc £65 DBS fee, cant wait to hear if thats coming off

I no longer find it amazing that folk want changes, of course they want change to suit themselves. Naturally, many local authorities regularly pilfer the licensing budget - you will see local authorities multiply the cost of licenses threefold - because that's how some local authorities operate. I genuinely despair with elements of this trade - they can see no further than the end of their own noses.

Your councillors on the licensing committee will probably have very little knowledge of taxi /ph, They will rely on the recommendations made by your licensing department......does your trade.... hack /ph...have a system in place of having regular meetings with the LO's and councillors...say...once every.3 months..with the aim of providing a first class service to the public and the licence holders in your area...if not ..why not...
