I'll get around to updating the list very soon, I've been quite busy recently. I have noticed some councils and one particular monthly Taxi magazine are still quoting outdated figures. I can't blame councils for quoting these figures but I have no sympathy for publications who broadcast misleading information.

Best wishes

Bearing in mind the hundreds of thousands of pounds of advertising that goes into that publication, compared to the 'not a penny' that goes into TDO, you would have thought the said publication would get it right.

For those who like to keep up with latest information on what licensing Authorities are doing with regard to numbers policy. Here is the latest provisional update. I left Blackpool off the first published list but I understand Blackpool still have a restricted policy so naturally I added them to this new list.

They are having a look at things, but having read the de-limit report to councillors I would put my hat on them de-limiting.

Cant see waht the problem with baberg is.
They had a look at demand 30 years ago.
And having a 15,000 survey for 20 cars really makes sense.

30% of councils at present have a restricted numbers policy. The latest to change that policy to one of non restriction is East Lindsey. The total now stands at 123.
