Just received a ticket from Nottingham City Council. One of our cars went into the bus and wheelchair accessible taxi lanes the other weekend. Can you send me your full name and address so that I can name you as the driver and we can see how you get on fighting it.

Don't say there was another driver driving it and send it off, they'll want a rental agreement between you and the driver, they'll want to know the ins and outs of a dogs backside. |

Send it back explaining that your a hackney, and it does not state what type on the signage, and that you had a wheelchair passenger with the chair folded in the boot., include a photo copy of you hackney licence. Or are you to chicken to even try |

Are you suggesting grandad commits a serious offence by using Council headed paper to write a letter. |

You are the only one who thinks that this means a car whith a wheelchair in the boot so I was offering you the chance to prove that you are correct. I take it that you are not up for the challenge? |

Quote: traffic orders state wheelchair accessible taxis only does it really specify 'wheelchair accessible taxis? I wonder how legal that is? licensing law doesn't make any differences between vehicle types, a licensed taxi is described as a 'hackney carriage'. Indeed; R (on the application of Maud) v Castle Point Borough Council Source: All England Reporter Publisher Citation: [2002] All ER (D) 23 (Oct) Court: Court of Appeal, Civil Division Judge: Kennedy, Buxton and Keene LJJ Representation David Wolfe (instructed by Griffith Smith, Brighton) for the appellant. Alan Newman QC and Andrew Muir (instructed by Barry Rollinson, Canvey Island) for the respondent. Judgment Dates: 2 October 2002 Catchwords Road traffic - Hackney carriage - Licence - Authority proposing to remove limit on number of licences to be granted - Appellant licence holder seeking judicial review of change of licence policy - Whether authority entitled to impose conditions limiting where new licence holders entitled to ply for hire - Whether authority permitted to have regard to latent demand for hackney carriage licences - Town and Police Clauses Act 1847, s 37 - . The Case On a true construction of s47(1) of the 1976 Act, an authority was not entitled to impose a condition which prevented a hackney carriage from acquiring fares from a particular stand or street. That would create a two tier system that flew in the face of the legislative approach to remove restraints and allow market forces to take effect. Any such system would encourage a second class of taxi that was contrary to the aim of encouraging competition. |

The whole City has become a money making City in the way of Speed Cameras and bus lane cameras. There's one camera in the city that's taking £350,000 every three months, that's just one camera, what are the others taking? |
