Isn't that as useful as saying that if you don't like the taxi situation in Carlisle then you should shut up because no one's putting a gun to your head and telling you to operate there?

The decision a local authority makes is usually as a result of a consultation process with all concerned parties. The elected committee then come to a decision. As you know.


Again, that's presumably the basis of the taxi policies pertaining in Carlisle, so to that extent your complaints are effectively irrelevant.

And why do you seem to complain about LAs that derestrict, since presumably they've adhered to the checks and balances that you outline.

The council will very likely be aware of the results of limitation, just as they will be aware of the results of delimitation

I very much doubt it. For example, if councils are so well informed why were you and others getting so excited about councils being made aware of plate premiums and suchlike?

And if the NTA claims that plate premiums are merely 'anecdotal', and presumably you subscribe to this view, then you must think that LAs are pretty gullible?

The Weymouth vs. Teletax case is relevent to England, and I would suggest persuasive in Scotland.




I would in turn suggest that you should have stuck to your original stance...

I don’t do Scotland, but in England you can transfer licenses provided section 49 (set out below) is complied with.


....since the Weymouth case seems to have little relevance to Scotland.

and no skull Mr Taxi baron cartel owning wanna plate merchant should not get a free plate

get it your "thick skull" you are dying for a free plate, ok i accept you have admin charges, but in essence you still want a free plate its simple.

nice to know that your bum chums are sticking up for you,

so skull if you dont want a free plate, what exactly do you want?

No



Errm I dont know where your going with this one, I think the opposite occurs, as its the wannaplates complaining in Edinburgh.

You doubt that councils are informed?

I think the NTA press release was more about the lack of consultation in some areas.

only thing is Skull you have already had two plates and chose to sell them for wahtever reason, now you want to drag the entire industry down with you

We have a prominent member of the TOA and GMB who works the Airport who has had two free plates issued to him, so whats the problem?

JD

A prominent member you say and who might that be the anointed one? This individual would obviously be a supporter of drivers getting the chance of their own free plate maybe even two free plates? What's good for the Goose and all that

the trouble with your friend Skull is he goes on and on
