Instead of retired police officers being given the jobs as taxi inspectors, I think it would be better all round if they gave the job to an operator who has done the job for years and wants to retire, at least they would have first hand knowledge of whats required


I completely and unreservedly disagree.

Well CC who would you suggest, being ex police they did not have a clue when they where in the force and still dont when they get the jobs for the boys

Someone straight off the street wouldnt have a clue either.

We need dedicated taxi licensing officer with qualifications in taxi licensing.

We dont need retired cab drivers because they would be worse than the Police!

Private hire driver Richard Jackson said: "Originally all the hackney plates were given out free, but over the years they have become worth money. The hackney drivers would be disheartened if they deregulated, because they would lose money, but it's money they were not entitled to.

"It should be deregulated and we should all be the same."



That's now, I wonder what his opinion will be 6 months down the line.

I understand the wannaplates from Watford who got their wish, are now having some form of protest this week over the amount of Taxis that are now operating in Watford.

Could'nt make it up part 3454.

The Thinker has said that Mr Jackson is now either chair or on the committee of YTA.
