I suppose you could also take the view that the people who claim that there is no unmet demand should at least bear some of the cost. and let's face it £2 in some cases every three years, or £2 on renewal of a vehicle licence, which through the work of the association's was until recently £120 a year, and now is only 140 per year . it's the old saying you can't please everybody

Minute 19 November 11th 2003.

The SLOPA representative indicate that his comments at the previous meeting should have been minuted that "he thought he had surveyed his drivers on the survey levy issue". Following an investigation he now confirmed that he had not surveyed his drivers.

PH drivers did go to the licensing committee about 10 years ago, demanding that sefton looked at some of the PH problems, they had no idea what controls affected them, everybody has to start somewhere.

Why would someone from Bolton need to complain about fee's in Sefton.

Hang on I've fell into the JD trap of believing that someones name or initials bears relevance.

Sorry Mr Bolton for questioning your complaint and subsequent post.

BTW are you a PH driver in Sefton?

Sorry to be a pain ................... but there had to be an investigation for someone to confirm that he had not surveyed his drivers.

Could he not remember???

Sounds a bit fishy to me Mr Bolton ............ and your timing is impeccable as you have appeared "out of the blue" when some are trying to personally and professionally discredit another member from that area.

Its a good job I'm not a conspiracy theorist.

I stand corrected, their survey was only concerning whether or not the drivers wanted a Hackney licence which they did not, as I said it was Orly from memory, and I totally agree with everyone has to start from some were, and I personally have always encourage associations to attend meetings, and if you are who I think you are, you'll also know that I do not always a agree with council decisions.

PH Drivers license Sefton £99.00 (3 yrs)

PH Drivers License Carlisle £48.00 1 year No 3 yr Option

HC Drivers license Sefton £99.00 3 yr

HC Drivers license Carlisle £48.00 1 year No 3 yr Option


Yep, I'd be really miffed

The democratic process has not been followed unless you consider 14 HC voting against 2 PH a balanced view.

It is not about getting his way, would sefton accept a split of 14.1.1. on any committee a balanced committee?, I don't think so.

You have got one me a little bit confused there are no Hackney or private hire drivers on the licensing committee

And at the liaison committee meetings there are no votes taken
And as for private hire being represented correct me when if I am wrong there are four Private Hire drivers associations and two Private Hire Company Associations that are represented at each meeting and only four Hackney Associations each association two members only .
and has not a question of levy been present at a licensing committee on its own

SLOPA represents PH operators not drivers, when challenged on the issue of surveying his drivers (not members) he investigated the subject and remembered he had not surveyed his drivers.

Yes I did agree with you before, the survey that took place was whether his drivers wanted a Hackney licence and not about the two pound levy, I said this before
