But it does beg the question as to why Warrington bother to keep quotas. 
If only 23 people are interested in becoming taxi plate-holders then what's the point of restricting numbers?

Presumably the reason that there's so few applicants is because the existing taxis are saloons?

I suppose it's a bit fairer than just having a waiting list which people may well join for speculative reasons. Or, for example, the kind of situation that Mr Cummings in Cardiff tried to exploit - ie he had dozens of plates but tried to utilise his position on the waiting list to obtain more, and didn't like the idea of a lottery. But it's still a pathetic way to decide how drivers earn their living. |
