Quote: The drivers had been protesting against what they had claimed to be too lenient tests for new drivers as well as too many licences being given out. The association claims that the number of licences being given out by the council impacts on the amount of work available to drivers. http://www.expressandstar.com/news/tran ... ks-tabled/ |

The Council could, however, look at the pre-licence application requirements and the standards they set within those requirements. e.g. local knowledge test, driving assessment, English assessment etc. |

How many other private hire drivers have lodged a claim with the operator they work for,if they do not lodge a claim they will not get any backdated payments,their claim would be only valid from the appeal date. |
