There are skodas licensed as P/h in Oldham, there are also Skodas licensed as hackney, the same applies in Rochdale likewise in Carlisle and the majority of license areas in the UK, so what exactly is your point Mrs C?

Perhaps you should look up certain case law and in particular the case that Captain Cab was recently enquiring about, it's quite possible you may learn something about the law in relation taxi recognition.

How can a Council not Licence the E 7 . when they License the Fx 4, Fairway and Metro cab .
Why cant they also license a mondeo/octavia etc,as there are plenty of disabled people who cannot climb into these sheds through choice :?:

There are plenty of disabled folk who have a fear of being stuck in a cab facing backwards....and would rather persevere to get into a saloon car!!

WHAT THE FECK DO YOU MEAN BY THAT [-( [-(
I will make it simple for you, instead of the police sucking up the the Liverpool taxi Cartel, with bullshit about the E7 .
Go and catch criminals, starting with with the murderer of Rhyse Jones.
Not hard really. They know who he is . :roll: :roll: :roll:

DfT best practice is that councils should not limit vehicle choice to one or two specific manufacturers?


So why are the holding back :roll: :roll: :roll:
Skippy Liverpool I M O ,do not comply with the 1985 transport act .
So there is know chance, of them bothering with best practise .
There is a copy of DFT best practice in the town hall. but as Liverpool is a republic no one has read it yet .

I sometimes wonder if councilors ever take into consideration the Governments best practice guidance?
________________________

Speech by transport minister Karen Buck to the National Taxi Association concerning best practice, disabilities, training and 'flexible taxis'.

Introduction

It's a pleasure to be here today. Thank you for inviting me.

We're breaking new ground because central Government has never given its views on how licensing authorities should use their powers.

We're questioning why the taxi trade should be burdened with unnecessary rules and regulations.

For example: does there need to be rigid policies that only allow one or two types of vehicles? We think not. Local authorities should consider a wider range of vehicles for licensing.

The age limits imposed on vehicles are also a burden on the trade. Are they really necessary if safety issues can be addressed?

Rather than impose age limits, surely it would be better to look at testing procedures and their frequency instead.

Another unnecessary problem for the trade is license duration.

The law allows for drivers to be licensed for a 3-year period.

So the proposed Best Practice suggests that authorities who currently renew licenses on an annual basis should consider moving to a three-year cycle.

It would be a far more sensible for all concerned.

Thank you.

Delivered: 25 October 2005

(This speech represented existing departmental policy but the words may not have been the same as those used by the Minister.)

Well if one of the cartel members is an LTI agent, that is unfair trading, and should be reported to trading standards.
