But didn't this one ask for the laws to be ammended so he could speak at council meetings about taxis?
Search the Argus web-site and you will find some interesting articles on Ted Kemble.

I dont think you mean laws but rules, councillors can apply for dispensation to speak and vote on issues of which they have a vested interest.
This is because a council can beccome unballanced as a result of these opt outs, and the dispensation has widely in the past been given to people like council tenants.
more common is a dispensation to speak but not vote, this was given here once by the government to a council market traded.
in counils like Brighton where every vote could be on a knife edge the councillor could feel that the opposite party or parties will gang up on taxis not as an issue but to get him.
I have looked at the paper site and can find nothing about this fellow, however I can only say that papers are massively inaccurate, all over the country.
Sussex If you dont like him I could request on your behalf that he relinquishes his plate and goes to be a private hire driver, where the magical anything he says or does will be approved of.
the councils stance on taxis has othing to do with Kembles membership of that I am certain.
