Hi everyone,

We're considering moving to Plymouth. My partner is a taxi driver and I'm trying to find out about work down there for him. I'd be grateful for any information about earning potential, badge prices etc. We're not sure where in Plymouth exactly, but hopefully within a 20 mile radius.

If any of you here work in Plymouth and can help, you can email me or reply here.

Many thanks,

Wendy

Dont do it, Plymouth city council are non conformists and 1 x Mr preece has pretty much got it sewn up down here unfortunately, but if your considering Hac then you might well have a long wait, dont mean to be dispondent just saying it how i view it but by all means this is only my view and others might say differently. I used to be a ph and then set up other businesses so this might well give you the best clue :wink:
