As he has been granted a TAXI drivers license someone in that Council area should go to the Council offices request to see the TAXI(hackney carriage)register,this by LAW must contain every proprietor,driver and criminal offences committed by them.

I have never seen a register that contains details of criminal records. Only details of the drivers name, badge number and the expiry date.

Register should also have who the driver of a particular TAXI is,was on a certain date,proprietor of the TAXI must inform the Council of the driver details for that vehicle.

Can't say I have ever read that in any of the acts.

Grandad,

1847 TPCA Section 42

Section 42 seems to relate to offences. From how I read what you have put the council must be told who is driving what vehicle on any date. So am I supposed to write to the council every day with a list of who is driving what vehicle and the council must put this information into a book every day?

There is no way a council can put drivers of hackney carriages criminal convictions on public display without breaching the DPA.

We are in 2016 not 1847.

The plate holders can sign away their rights if they so wish, but they can't sign their drivers rights away.

Think you should inform the Council of the 2nd largest city of your view and the reply I am sure will be they are acting correctly.

I have no confidence that any councils really knows what they are doing.

However I've managed to read the bits in the Human Right's Act about private life.
