Brighton & Hove Licensing Committee voted last Thursday to carry on with their limatation policy and reduce the managed growth policy from five plates per year down to two plates per year. :?

Further details to follow.

Now all you have to do is get rid of that horror colour scheme of blue and white, what possessed the council to bring it in, in the first place
There are enough court cases where the judge has said the sign on the cab is enough like in York

It must cost owners a small fortune getting the bonnet and boot painted, or are they allowed to use sticky back plastic

I dunno skip, life in taxis would be a lot simplier judged on the basis of people walking like egyptians IMO anyway http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjI4p8_NZVc&feature=related

Those have to be WAV vehciles.

The colour scheme of blue and white is a stupid ideal. Sort of backfires on the them, I mean who the heck wants a vehcile looks like that for exec work,

Then surely PH is the better option for executive work?

A HC would have to have a roof sign on if it were a saloon and working wouldnt it?

It does, it also has vehicles all of the same type......cant see that being too popular in Brighton.

I suggest you join / ask your union to sort it out :D
