CAN THE Tele ask Dundee City Council to explain the astronomical rise (last year £75, this year £125) in the fee to apply for a taxi badge. The test is exactly the same. — Broughty Cabbie.

[A spokeswoman for Dundee City Council licensing department said, “The increase, which was split between operators and drivers, has no bearing on the test.

“It was introduced, following a request from the trade for the employment of a second officer to enforce the conditions and deal with other matters such as plate hiring. The Civic Government Scotland Act 1982 requires us to recover our costs.]
