year on year and for the last 5 years Canterbury city council have increased of fees 3% this has been done as part of their annual budget review it has never gone out in public notices only posted on their website My understanding is they can only increase fees to cover costs they claim to lose money on our licenses but as they don't hold accounts for taxi licensing division separate from neighbourhood services I can't see how they can say this and as for their breakdown of fees thats laughable trust me should state we have not had a fare increase in more than 8 years(don't want one as it would ruin us if we did) |

(a) If a district council determine that the maximum fees specified in subsection (2) of this section should be varied they shall publish in at least one local newspaper circulating in the district a notice setting out the variation proposed, drawing attention to the provisions of paragraph (b) of this subsection and specifying the period, which shall not be less than twenty-eight days from the date of the first publication of the notice, within which and the manner in which objections to the variation can be made. (b) A copy of the notice referred to in paragraph (a) of this subsection shall for the period of twenty-eight days from the date of the first publication thereof be deposited at the offices of the council which published the notice and shall at all reasonable hours be open to public inspection without payment. |

They should have a separate ring fenced account to ensure taxi fees are not being spent in other areas. |
