Well I don't know how many they represent? But they have certainly achieved a lot, they most definitely put Ashfield reps to shame. 7yrs with no increase in fees, and even a slight reduction, that's pretty big really.


Ok who on this forum has not had a fee increase in 7yrs? Let's see how big this achievement is.

Last fare increase was 3 years ago. He looks after his own Private Hire Drivers who are running about for nothing. As for putting Ashfield Reps to shame, the Council won't meet with the trade in Council time.

Then call a meeting outside of council time.

18.00pm is a time both day and night drivers can attend.

Or write to the Chair of Licensing requesting a meeting.

I know it's not easy, but maybe arrange a meeting, invite the press, and tell the press the council have been invited. :wink:

You need to take a look at ours, they're expensive.


You need to join a union, your reps are not very good at all. I don't know who is representing you in Ashfield? But I would sack em. Ashfield is way above your nearest authorities, Mansfield and Bolsover are way cheaper,so who have they compared there best value on?



They just pluck a figure out of the Sky.

I questioned them once about the price of a 3 year badge which is £250 + a CRB every year and a DVLA licence check every year =£370 over the border in Mansfield a 3 year badge is £150. The head of licensing was trying to tell me that Ashfield was on par with Mansfield. He soon changed his mind when I Emailed him a copy of Mansfield's badge fees which clearly shows £150 for a 3 year badge.


It states on Ashfield web site that a 3 year bade is £186.60 ?

Add in the yearly CRB checks @ £40 a throw £120 then the DVLA checks @ £6 X 3

They still make us have yearly CRB checks with a 3 year badge plus the DVLA checks.

No it was my mistake, £180 for the badge then a CRB every year plus the DVLA checks which takes it over £300 for a 3 year badge.
