Just de-limit, save a bob or two, and then license fees will be even cheaper.

The removal of number controls is for councils and licensing officers that have no idea of how to provide a good Taxi Service , and by doing so prove how useless they are, and is often supported by squatters that drive private hire .

Good question, maybe they should have followed Berwicks policy of only charging what it costs to implement licensing. I suppose that brings us to the question of how many more Seftons there are throughout the UK? Regards JD |

I think if you were to look closely you would find that every council generates money from licensing, but as our licensing fees are ring-fenced and the Hackney and private hire department stands on its own feet excess money can not be siphoned off to be used in other sections of licensing. And I think JD that Berwicks policy is to use licences that they know will not operate in their own district as a cash cow nothing else. |

But aren't the administration costs the same for every license application no matter where they choose to work? Regards JD |

So you're saying that they're welcoming the work rather than just doing it because in law they have to? |
