But they do,prime example of Councillors and Council Officers who should not be allowed to hold a Public Office Post,not just at Rutland Council but at any Council.

This lot do not have a clue.

That's not the way Uber operate.

It is interesting to note though that Uber have to fetch drivers in from elsewhere in nearly every town they try and launch in !!

I think people are beginning to see the light and not sign up

As usual it seems its the GMB taking on Uber in Brighton on behalf of the Trade maybe theres another bout of litigation on the Cards ? or more likely its Uber exploiting the current legislation and the Council are powerless to intervene effectively?

But it is the way every other private hire operator abiding by the LAW does operate,and any licensing authority worth its salt would make uber do the same.

Another reason why they are not here,could not answer the question.

It wasn't added to the license as the local trade assumed, just a verbal confirmation by a Uber legal rep at the committee meeting.

Just because Uber operate a different way to the rest doesn't mean they operate illegally.

I wish that was the case.

Uber dish out the work to all and sundry in a way that, if I liked Uber, I would take my hat off to them with admiration.

Surely a verbal agreement by the legal rep. is recorded in the Committee minutes.

If it is not recorded how can the Committee agree that the minutes are a true record of the meeting that took place.

Smacks of brown envelopes one is inclined to think.

This is what you posted on the thread when their license was granted.

"Their op license says they can only use locally licensed vehicles.

Should that then be breached, and should surge time appear, and maybe there is an issue with disabled punters, then I suspect the trade might unzip their mouths."

There operators license is granted under 1976 misc. provisions act.

It is the same as every operators license who abide by the LAW, and has nowt to do with London.

Where is the so called power of the union you keep going on about in stopping this happening in Brighton.

2.4.2 if required waiting area has adequate seating facilities.
2.5 The operator premises to be licensed must be situated within the district of Brighton & Hove.
2.6 The operator may only utilise drivers and vehicles also licensed by Brighton & Hove City Council.
2.7 All operators premises to which the public have access must be covered by public liability insurance to cover all risks.
2.8 Planning permission for operating purposes maybe required and it is the operator's responsibility to ensure any permission required is granted and produced to an authorised officer at the time of application.
2.9 All operators will be required to have a document setting out their policies and procedures in relation to those with a disability. They will also be required to undertake monitoring of use of their service by those with a disability and provide a summary of monitoring in a format as required by the Director of Public Health annually. Failure to do so may result in the suspension or revocation of an Operators Licence.
2.10 All operators must ensure that all drivers of wheelchair accessible vehicles are trained and have passed the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) taxi wheelchair exercise test or the Catstream Drivers Disability Awareness Training
2.11 All operators must ensure that all drivers do not work excessive hours and have adequate breaks between shifts
2.12 All operators must ensure that all Brighton & Hove Vehicles operated under the licence comply with the current Brighton & Hove CCTV conditions.
2.13 No licence will be issued until all licence requirements are met to the satisfaction of the authorised officer and the appropriate fee has been paid.

2.6 from Brighton clearly states no out of town taxis, if poober are bringing them in you have to wonder who is being bribed
