This can only be equal in the vehicle sense and not in the sense of the customer requirements as all customers have different needs. Providing a vehicle that only meets the needs of one particular section of society is not equal. |

I don't detect any concerns from previous posts on this topic; I was under the impression that few wanted 100% WAV fleets because of the impact on the mobile infirm? I'm all confused. Should I be writing to my MP? |

I think questions need asked......as the bill itself is going to raise plenty of questions. CC |

The consultation period is over, and it appears that the gov will allow each council to decide what constitutes a WAV, not give regulations from central gov. That is a big plus. Also one has to bear in mind that the WAV rules were put together nearly 15 years ago, the only issue not sorted was a start date (which we still don't have yet). But this bill has a bit of a way to go before it becomes an act, however I doubt the taxi bit will change. But I have been wrong many times before.

http://www.taxi-driver.co.uk/phpBB2/vie ... sc&start=0 This consultation is still ongoing and they've included the subject of the consultation in the bill as a fait accompli. Giving the secretary of state power to introduce the measures while a consultation is in progress is surely an abuse of process. |

I've looked out the reply I had from the minister, Paul Clark, dated 22nd April, which mention other consultations into the detail of a strategy possibly extending into 2010. I'm struggling to copy it and load it to this thread at the moment but, I sent CC a copy by E mail on 28th April. It may be that he would be kind enough to scrub my ID from the letter and post it here if he is able. |
