The easiest thing anyone can tell you is that the council will lose in court.

But they don't always, and even if they do they have the resources to appeal and appeal. The question is do you?

If council officials/councillors want to change something then they first need to consult stakeholders. Doesn't mean they take a blind bit of notice, but when they present the consultation to councillors then those councillors should take note of the views of those that replied to the consultation. The decision also mustn't be viewed as a decision that no reasonable person(s) would take.

If any of the above didn't take place then the trade might win a judicial appeal. If all the above has been adhered too then they trade has an up-hill battle.

Personally I think a council set colour/corporate ID is a good thing, as long as plenty of time is given to the trade to change. Maybe at the next change of vehicle.

I agree with your post, but disagree with colour policies.

The fact that 100% of the trade don't like a policy alas is not a good enough legal reason for it to be changed by the courts.

the fact that one bloke fancies white and green aint good enough reason to implement policy
