At least they had a choice.

Having had a nose at the report/committee meeting a number of things come to mind.

1) WTF did the trade ask for an increase whilst this was up in the air?
2) In June/July 2010, in Basingstoke, SUD was found by Halcrow. I doubt anywhere else in the country had SUD last summer.
3) The LO has clearly researched the subject, and has nailed his colours.
4) Most applicants last time a plate was up for grabs came from existing cab drivers.
5) 22 of 464 members of the taxi trade responded to the consultation prior to the SUD survey. FFS. ](*,)


Sadly typical.

Of course it does, or are you/I/we saying drivers shouldn't have the option to decide for themselves what they want to license? :?

I think I would, but I'd say the taxi should be considered part of a local transport plan, and licenses should be issued in accordance with demand.

10.6 Should members agree with the officer’s recommendation to delimit HCV numbers, time freed up by not having to deal with issues concerned with restricting HCV numbers will be used to increase the level of enforcement ‘on the street’ and will also feed into the Legal and Licensing Team’s Efficiencies and Savings Review (due to start in December 2011).

Definitely a licensing officer.... that is making sure they have little to do in the future...

Well if thats the case, we can maybe see a couple of licensing officers time freed up so much they can collect their redundancies?
