So your council are saying the department that devised the tariff change will be the judge and jury over it's implementation?
I would contact the Chair and Licensing and ask him/her exactly what the f***ing hell his/her committee are there for.
We have a drivers meeting with the council next week.
There are a lot of issues to raise. One of them being that Iworked out the extra costs that have been incured since the last increase, mentioning the rise in fuel costs and insurance. I worked it out that to get us back to where we were in 2008, the time of the last increase would take 6500 jobs per year at 28 pence per job. This was dismissed because it was factually incorrect. The head of the department says that the cost of unleaded petrol has only increase by 19% from April 2008. Now that is what you call being factually incorrect. I will need to point out to him that the vast majority of taxis do not run on unleaded fuel in the first place and that in April 2008 diesel was 10 pence per litre cheaper than petrol.
Petrol up 28%, diesel up 24%.
