The Berwick case was about out-of-town HCs working for a licensed PH operator on a 'foreign' radio circuit away from their own home LA.

The simple solution is to amend the legislation so that a licensed PH operator may only use HCs from the LA in which they are both licensed, thus preventing the abuse.

phones and internet cant be limited to LA border lines, and thats a fact, so thats what we, and LA's, and public have to live with, plus it gives customers complete freedom of supplier, under EU laws thats a legal right

No, that is not what you said, it may be what you meant to say but it is not what you said. You said to stop HC drivers acting as private hire in other areas. Where as Brummie has said that private hire operators can only use hacks from their own area.

Either way the HC driver will only be able to work PH in their own area or more to the point from an office in their licenced area. PH operators are already only supposed to use vehicles and drivers that are licensed by the same authority as themselves, therefore my thinking was to prevent the HC from working in an area they are not licensed for. Either way works for me

Talk about not taking the most direct route!!

Do your punters suffer in the same way?

hi there i am new to this forum i am currently licensed by cotswold district council as a hackney having completed the knowledge /medical/car test/crb check etc i read this post with interest does this mean what i think that as a bonofide hackney i can work for a private hire office anywhere in the country no matter how far away from the cotswolds this is my mum lives in york could i take a long holiday there and work on a radio circuit even though my car is black with a roof sign on and all the hackneys in york are black with roof signs on

Yes, but be careful where you sit cos you could get done for illegally plying.
