I wonder why you highlight sefton and not the other LA's? and why mention Mr Jones?

I thought it newsworthy to note that Mr Jones was not part of the Sefton Taxi and private hire working group. I also thought it newsworthy to note that Mr Jones contribution to the "transfer of licensing functions" was submitted independently and on behalf of no one but himself. I take this to mean he probably represents no official organisation in Sefton and the only person he now speaks for, is himself?

Unless you know different?

Hull and Hastings have both retained numbers. There are only 12 councils left to decide on policy. The latest update can be read here…….

If a past or present forum member appears in the press or in official documents then surely that's newsworthy vis-a-vis the forum?

I understand different, and have minutes to the contrary.

You have minutes showing what for instance? That Mr Jones did attend the working group on the day in question?

I have no idea of knowing who is a part of the Sefton working group I only know that Mr Jones wasn't a part of the working group on that particular day, according to the minutes. I also note that there was no apology of absence.

Are you saying he was there?

So 18 months or so after the deadline 12 councils still haven't got around to reviewing their policy.

Bit pi** poor really.

To be honest I havent got a clue about the movements of Mr. Jones, I do however have minutes of previous meetings where Mr.Jones was present.

Perhaps you have answered your original question because some people might find it newsworthy that a man who represents no one but himself is allowed to sit in on a working group that makes decisions on behalf of others? If Mr Jones is a part of the Working group then whom does he represent? We know he doesn't represent the local Taxi trade through any local organisation so why would he be on the working group? Why should one individual who represents no one but himself be allowed to make policy in respect of the local trade?

It is my understanding that he doesn't officially represent anyone in Sefton but you can obviously set the matter straight by proving I am wrong?

You are of course presuming Mr. Jones represents no-one, which I dont actually agree with.

You mean like Private Hire Operators? Who represent their own businesses?

Of course, you will be aware that trade representatives dont make policy in respect of the local trade, thats the job of the LA?

I believe you are incorrect, for all you know Mr Jones may represent 'Carlisle TOA

For F*** Sake Captain!
Why talk in riddles? If you know something's missed or not quite correct why not put the matter straight instead of trying to trip people up?
It's getting to the stage where anything you post i dont bother reading anymore, and it's a pity because now and again you do post some interesting stuff!
