There was a number of interesting statements made at this meeting, one such statement made by wheelchair charlie was that........ all Councillors by law should be made aware of this consultation document, and not just the local licensing officer.... it should be a full council reply... it might well be advisable to e-mail your local councillors and enclosing the consultation document and asking them for their opinion... also asking them whether or not your council will be able to reply In the time period permitted....

There is also the statement in Quote which is very interesting and could be extremely expensive... if true.. wheelchaircharlie39@uwclub.net

This whole exercise from start to finish has been farcical and mismanaged.

What should have been a straightforward exercise, has turned out to be an inept comedy of errors driven by political correctness and bias in favour of anyone and everyone except to those people who are required to bankroll these conditions, namely the taxi owner.

It would appear to me and probably everyone else in the cab trade that there has been a distinct lack of exclusive consultation between DfT officials and representatives of the taxi trade, or if indeed there has been such consultation then those that were consulted have failed to inform their own members and those people who work in the taxi trade as a whole of the detailed discussions that took place.

This issue has been ongoing on for some considerable time yet only recently has the collective taxi trade been given the opportunity to digest the proposals put forward by the DfT. These proposals should now be the first stage of a wider more exhaustive consultation with those who have to bear the cost. The disabled lobby were given ample time to add their input, it is now time for the taxi trade to be given the same opportunity to add theirs.

The meeting of minds group would probably be the best vehicle to act as the collective body for the taxi trade in this matter, providing they can get their act together and sing from the same hymn book?

There is however an element in this group namely NALEO that has demonstrated in the past that it sometimes has a conflicting agenda to that of the taxi trade. Taxi trade members in this group obviously outnumber those of NALEO therefore it is up to those people to lead the debate in the direction of the interests of the taxi trade while at the same time bringing on board NALEO members. If that cannot be achieved then a separate group within the meetings of minds should be set up to specifically carry forward the opinions and views of the taxi trade. NALEO has the option of registering an abstention or dissension from any proposals and future discussions relating to this particular issue.

There are other options that could be considered but the overall priority is a “coherent single united voice.”

JD, maybe a rewording of that and submit it to the DfT?

Do you have any specific word in mind or all of them

Won't matter a stuff whatever happens in Edinburgh as the TramJam will have you all gridlocked until at least 2037...

It seems that certain people in theTaxi Trade in Edinburgh do not realise that they will be affected to..... considering the Scottish Nat fed were involved at the beginning re DDA Act I find it surprising..... especially as the consultation paper states it is for England, Wales, and Scotland.....

The DfT “road show” meetings consist of three: London, Bristol and Edinburgh. .....

The cab trade in Edinburgh are concerned about one issie, and one issue only. And that ain't the DDA.
