They can. They should consult with the trade first and you do have the right to appeal against it.

I think a one colour is good. Since they scrapped the colours in most towns the ranks look like a car auction.

I am not actually adverse to that and think Hackneys should be one colour

however don't know why they want to make P/H stand out and why they chose 2 colours for each.. Also colours for P/H the whole trade bar 2 companies objected to.

surely they could do that more easily by applying vinyls with the town crest to all cars or has no one suggested that. Also have they offered any money towards drivers costs ?

they wanted to put a crest on the car for all but in the middle of the bonnet

i and others suggest on the door incorperating business name

hackneys here already have black and white chequers down the side

we don't have an association here it folded due to lack of support

some of us considered re starting it but decided against as there is little team work here

I am not in a union but several I believe are
sadly in my mind the trade here doesn't understand how a union works nor do i believe they would support it when required
