I very much doubt it.
Wot about excec cars and 8 seater mini-buses?
If they exclude one firm from the new conditions, I very much doubt they could refuse others.
But then again maybe the council is a bit scared of up-setting airport cars.
Still all this is typical of councils. Some dont want any markings. Some allow a few and yours seem to want the ph to look more like taxis than taxis. :?

I think that sentence sums up the legality of the new rules.

The council has backed down to the ones who have the clout to challenge any decision.

But it also says a lot about the way the council treat the rest. :shock:
