I don't think it matters that he hasn't held a Hackney license and as far as I know, driven a Private hire vehicle for any length of time.
Mr T was going to clarify this, I suspect we will wait as long as for the last bit of information we asked about.

The fact remains he is considered by some to be an expert. I suspect that is because he edits a Private hire Newspaper which regurgitates mostly second hand news and the fact that there are not many other expert witnesses in the trade who have come forward to express their skills.
Therefore as a journalist he is now an expert in taxi matters
oh dear.

Mr Roland must have a very week case if he is relying on the five year Transport plans to help him out. With regard to Taxis, only a limited amount of content can be put into Transport plans and none of its constructive.
Brighton Taxi plans are a case in point, Manchester even more so because Manchester didn't even mention Taxis in the last Transport plans. It will be interesting to see what Mr Roland suggests is lacking in the East riding transport plans.
Correct JD, it is the forthcoming batch that must have input from the profession.
All in all a well balanced and fair statement.
