If the work isn't there, why don't you take a car off the road? That way you will save the licence fee.

Taxi fee rise sparks rage Plans to increase taxi licence fees has sparked anger. Derbyshire Dales District Council is set to discuss proposals to raise Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Licensing fees by 4.6 per cent, in the New Year. The application fee for an operator’s licence, which is renewed every three years, will increase from £215.25 to £225.15, vehicle licence fees, which are renewed every year will increase to £268.00 from £256.00. Tracey Shelton, of MJs Taxis in Wirksworth said: “I find this absolutely disgusting. “How on earth do you expect us to keep carrying on paying out and paying out. The work isn’t there any more. Money is very tight” The proposals, recommended for approval, will be discussed in Matlock Town Hall on Thursday January 6 at 6pm. source; http://www.matlockmercury.co.uk/news/ |

I'm not entirely sure that having one less vehicle working under the ops licence will make any difference, I suppose it depends on how the LA charge for the ops licence. |

No but they would save £268 on the vehicle licence and around £1000 on the insurance which would pay for most of the other increases. |
