Taxi owners slam new colour scheme idea 07 October 2010 Furious taxi firm owners, have called a new proposal to colour scheme their vehicles, ‘totally ludicrous.’ Gwynedd Council is proposing that all Hackney vehicles should be black with red bonnets and private hire vehicles be all white with yellow bonnets and backs. “I’m absolutely at a loss why these people in their offices at Gwynedd Council would ask us to do this,” said owner of Derek’s Taxi’s in Dolgellau, Derek Edwards.

well it was when i lived up there Have you never heard of ward & constituency boundary changes? This happens all over the UK from time to time. However, in Wales it is somewhat different!! There, if over time the number of sheep in one area increases far more than in an adjacent area, then the first area is reduced & the second area increased to try to balance the sheep out!!

Gwynedd council drops plan for two-tone taxis One firm said it would have to change its white taxis 22 October 2010 Last updated at 13:33 Gwynedd council has dropped a plan for two-tone taxis, but there will be different colours for private hire and taxis. Taxi drivers in Gwynedd are angry about any plans which could mean vehicles have to conform to certain colours. The council said the colours will ensure the public can easily recognise registered vehicles. But some operators said anyone could paint their cars in those colours and ferry people around while unlicensed. 'Totally against' The recommendations (PDF) went before the authority's central licensing committee that hackney cabs will be black with red bonnets and backs, and private hire vehicles will be white with yellow bonnets and back. A council spokesperson said the aim was to ensure the safety of people using taxis and private hire firms in Gwynedd. Taxi companies will now be consulted on the new plans. Speaking before Friday's meeting Llinos Chubb, from one Bangor taxi firm, said they were "totally against" the proposals. She said: "The worry about the proposed changes is safety to the community and to our passengers. "There would be no difference between the taxis at all if they were all the same colour. Mrs Chubb added: "All our vehicles are white and with Chubbs Cabs written on the side of them. Cost implications She said that if all were the same 2how do you define which company you're from and who you work with? And that gets much more difficult then." Mrs Chubb said there would also be cost implications with any changes to cab colours. "Because we run a fleet of white vehicles, the cost implication will be £150 to get the bonnet sprayed yellow." "But if you bought new cars, then they would have to be white or black the defining colours and then you'd have to spray the colour, again yellow or red." Other changes to taxis in Gwynedd will also be considered at the committee meeting. These include removing a condition that every licensed vehicle must be less than 10 years old and introducing another that vehicles must be under six years old when they are first licensed. The spokesperson added that at a recent meeting with a cross-section operators general support was give to the possible changes. Any changes would not include private hire vehicles which only transport children to school. Source; http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-11604081 |
