York taxi licensing know they would lose this if it was ever taken to court, and that supposedly came from the department.
And if they did lose, would it be the same for the new rules that are coming in for the private hire fleet?
Is the trade going for all three?
York Council have won very few taxi court cases over the years, the recently retired cabby, Mr P Wheatley and the deceased Mr Frank Marshall saw to that over the years, the council shook in their boots even when one of them was on to the phone to them
the trouble is now we have no back bone leaders of the trade, the Council will now try anything on and to them its seems it will be a walk over
the words uttered by some York taxi drivers seems to be "well they could deregulate" if this is not accepted
times are hard now, you all see how many cabs are circling around town looking for work as the 20 odd new cabs have arrived, seems to me some of these new cab drivers are blokes who have retired once, but now issued with a plate
i see now some of the plates owned by builders and plumbers are getting back their cabs for them to work as the building work as gone tits up
i think if the case is won this will also be a win for York PH, both PH and Hacks in York have a good relationship, time now to get together and lets get it sorted out
