Perhaps the government should give Berwick back to Scotland.
That should solve your problem :lol: :lol:

Indeed, if sources are correct Berwick even allows a garage in Newcastle to carry out testing of vehicles for them, I'm sure even JD will raise a smile at that one and tell you the testing station must be within the district?

I did not know that a testing station had to be in the LA district. :-k

Found it...

50. Provisions as to proprietors.—

(1) Without prejudice to the provisions of section 68 of this Act, the proprietor of any hackney carriage or of any private hire vehicle licensed by a district council shall present such hackney carriage or private hire vehicle for inspection and testing by or on behalf of the council within such period and at such place within the area of the council as they may by notice reasonably require:

Provided that a district council shall not under the provisions of this subsection require a proprietor to present the same hackney carriage or private hire vehicle for inspection and testing on more than three separate occasions during any one period of twelve months.

The way I read sec 50 is that a council can insist on a test within the district, but if suitable facilities can be outside of the district then drivers can also use those.

I read it as within the district....so therefore a proprietor could refuse to attend if its outside the area?
