After that clunky headline and All Those Capital Letters it didn't look promising for that article in the pantheon of tariff consultation pieces :lol:

...but it's actually quite a comprehensive and well-rounded summary. On the other hand, for the average reader of that publication, probably far too much detail :-o

Quote:
The council emailed all Chester hackney owners in June. Two replied, and both backed the rise. The report does not record any survey of passengers.

Which sounds about right.

And puts into perspective that one the other week from Stirling claiming something like a couple of hundreds public responses?

When we canvassed the drivers eighteen months ago about a rise there was little appetite for it. I think the recent fuel price rises jolted them in to action. Although it’s only 5% on the running mile, it’s closer to 10% on the smaller jobs (up to three miles or so). There were still some drivers hesitant to agree to this though!!
