I can guarantee you it would go down well in court.

I would guess that they are saying that as you drive a wheelchair accesable taxi then to do your job properly you must be able to load a wheelchair if required. If you can't do that then you will probably be in breach of some bylaw or condition. If that is the case then you may have to take the council to appeal at the magistrates court where, if you are properly represented, The council will get a bloody nose.

Go above him.

Your council by law must have an Equalities Officer, find out who he/she is and speak to them about the situation.

It's not worth speaking to your licensing officer any more.

can a la revoke a licence if the driver has a medical exemption for lifting heavy things etc. eg after surgery you are fit to drive but not lift for a few months. If the driver drives a cab with wheelchair conditions



The cab is the last place I'd want to be if I was suffering a condition which left me unable to lift heavy things.
