Knowsley and Wirral councils grant licences to app company that recently employed the Leytonstone Terrorist But company still doesn't have a licence from Liverpool City Council A global app company has been given licences to operate by Wirral and Knowsley councils. It follows the decision by Sefton council to give the controversial company a licence earlier this year. The move expands the number of drivers who will be able to work for the company, although so far no licence has been given by Liverpool city council. Neil McGonigle, general manager for Merseyside said: the were delighted to now be able to offer the same opportunity to licensed private-hire drivers in Knowsley and the Wirral. “This includes the advantages that the app can offer in terms of safety, flexibility and economic opportunity. “This licensing approval comes at an ideal time as we enter the busy festive season, and will help them better serve the thousands of riders that are signing up to use the app in Merseyside every week.” In Merseyside established drivers have been unhappy about the company coming to the local market which they have said is already saturated and that many local firms already offer app-based private hire services. This particular app has also hit headlines around the world over concerns about how it ensures passenger safety, its charging system and claims it is forcing traditional cab drivers out of business. However, in October they claimed they were being treated unfairly after a decision on their bid to operate in Liverpool was again put off. At the time the city council’s licensing committee instead began a consultation on changes to their conditions for allowing private hire companies to work in the city. City councillors put a halt on granting “current or future” applications from “App-based private hire operators” until that consultation was completed. Following the decisions by Knowsley and Wirral councils Mr McGonigle said: “Unfortunately, we are still unable to accept Liverpool licensed private-hire drivers on the Uber app. We are currently waiting for Liverpool City Council to update their conditions before they will further consider our operator’s license. “We are looking forward to working with the council in the New Year to make progress on our application and in the meantime we are supporting Liverpool licensed drivers who want to switch their badges to have access to the same opportunities that are available to their Sefton, Knowsley and Wirral counterparts.” source: http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liv ... s-10582081 |

Oh you mean like employing terrorists, rapists, surge charging during the terrorist attacks in Paris and Australia and that? |

Its that pseudo employment thing - ph operators have been playing this for years, when a driver does something good he's one of our chaps - when he runs over a poodle he's self employed - technically they employ the services of a driver? |

Currently drivers are encouraged to work Liverpool as there isn't enough work on Wirral at the moment, same as Sefton drivers do and no doubt Knowsley drivers. The App recognises which area the driver is licenced in and feeds the job through that particular part of the App. I think it's called intelligent labelling
