Sefton is in the process of reducing all of it licensing fees..... and also giving new drivers a free tyre pressure gauge..... but when they have £500,000 and growing in the ring-fenced account.... they have to do something.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

That's all they can do, reduce licence fees & hope the account reduces, because they sure can't pay it back to licence holders.

They could always send me on holiday... I am sure they would feel the benefit of it as well as myself . :wink:


If you and Mrs T require somebody to carry your drinks from the bar I'm sure I'd be able to make some time for this :lol:

In that case, your mission, when completed, will be a very valuable piece of statistical work!

It would stand to reason that those councils coining it in as above, would probably be scanking the cab trade too.

So a complete picture would be advantageous.

I personally think the operators get off too lightly, doesnt make it legal, but facing facts, they just push it onto their radio rents.
