stationtone just say the council cap the limit tomorrow,then what,a massive waiting list because ops hire out their plates,then one applicant applys to the court and the towns opened,its not going to happen,especially with dundees record,look at the figures,an average of 2 wav plates a month are granted at least the same are returned, drivers badges are few and between the only signifigant number changes are private hire plates,limiting wav plates will make no difference to dundee,s plight,the ph new ops are already diving hacks so the damage is again limited,increased enforcer activity could help ,i know 3 individuals driving without badges, personally i would like to see a council crackdown on illegal drivers with the ops losing both plate and badge ,these ops are tuning a blind eye to the drivers which are in turn taking work right out our mouths
dundee wav you ask stationtone what's the answer the answer is we have to give a little to get something in return.
You are correct in stating that capping our city on its own won’t eradicated all of our problems.
If we could get the council to cap the city but in return the trade agree to a strict age limit on our vehicles and also agree that all vehicles whether they be private hire or public hire be brand new on inception this would control your numbers and more than likely eradicate 95% of hired licenses it would also stop 18 year old fairway’s being put up for service. For the trade to go to such an expense we would require the council in return to enforce the conditions of all operators licenses and our enforcement officers enforce it to the full extent of the law.
To keep our city properly capped a survey has to be undertaken every 3 years and a licensing official has to collate figures on new business and population movement and present these figures every time someone applies for a licence, if these figures show a marked change then a mini survey is undertaken and the application is deferred until the mini survey is produced, then every time a licence is heard it is dealt with up to date information that keeps our city capped.
If you do decide to have a waiting list you have list of people waiting to apply, because they haven’t been put on a list of application they have no expectation so can’t take the council to court.
dont feeck it up now,and go back to what you had. thats just going round in circles.
