Taxi firms fume over licence hike

Taxi firms in York are angry about plans for a huge hike in the cost of their annual operator's licence.
Some of the cab firms who currently pay £145 a year could find themselves paying several hundred pounds if the new charges are agreed on Wednesday.

The City of York Council says an increase would ensure council tax payers are not being asked to subsidise the cost of the taxi licensing office.

But Ebor Cabs director Tony Chance says the planned rises are unjustified.

"We don't mind paying an additional amount," he said.

"But it's these huge increases, basically just for a registration service, that we object to. We'd like to see those revised."

Well apart from York council restricting taxi numbers, I quite like them.

Especially the bit about the £200 fee to transfer a plate. :D :D :D :D :D

I think the answer to the problem in York is quite simple. They only have about 70 taxis paying the license fee. So if they need to raise more money to run the licensing department, well they should just issue another 200 taxi licenses. :wink:

Can't understand why the local taxi trade hasn't thought of that already. :D :D :D

Sussex.
you have gone rather off subject here.

if you wanna make such suggestions and be provocative start another thread.

we started about dress and finish up talking about another 200 odd to break the ruddy codes.

No Mr Yorkie, this thread is about license fees.

The only person mentioning dress-code is your good self. :shock:
