Please explain that one to me because apart from our council also including the drivers badge in the notice, our notice is the same.

Grandad,

Ignore me I'm going mad.

They are right, I'm yet again wrong.

In your case they don't need to advertise drivers, as it is assumed only the processing costs are recovered, so there is no need to explain any increase.

That's OTT considering ours is only £182, and it includes the Op licence

Let me get this right, the council don't need to advertise the increase in drivers badge costs? If that is right, how are we supposed to object to the increase?

_________________
Grandad,

You can still object, it's just there is no provision in any taxi/PH act for formal objections.

You are entitled to ask why the increase is happening, and a full justification. If those justifications aren't forthcoming, or inadequate, then it's to the District Auditor.
