That's one of the highest ratios that I have come across, but deciding on taxi provision by such a route, is both stupid and illegal. 
When did your council last survey taxi demand? |

Find that difficult to believe, the area controlled by Carlisle City Council has a population of approx 100,000, the same calculation would give us 10 taxis.

IE in West Lothian a Public Hire license ia alloacated for every 10,000 head of population. I dont know about that, on the council website it mentions that Eligibility Each application is dealt with on its own merit. And goes on to say that Policies All new taxis must be Wheelchair accessible. All new private hire cars must provide facilities for the disabled - i.e. a swivel cushion to assist entry and exit or, be wheelchair accessible It might be a good idea to contact them on the number and just ask them http://www.westlothian.gov.uk/content/services/T/54348/ |

Note the part that mentions that the applicants will not have the right to appeal as they never commented on the councils policy of limitation. |

Captain cab No Local authority is realy progressive when it comes to disabled people. now the time has come when all council buildings must be accesible to all, what do we find length and breadth of the country? building closures particularly public toilets, where there are steps and grand sales to the private sector. and they preach to us? |
