JD,

On the contrary, it is a most valid point even though it might be unpalatable to some? Because it wasn't me who said, "Councils know best" it was the NTA.
This is still the case, LA's are in the best position to decide, not national government.

Why should you concern yourself with what LA's do? You are on record as saying LA's know best. Have you now had a change of mind about that concept? If you felt LA's were not doing things right you could have have written to them explaining your concerns and perhaps tell them why they are not doing it right.
The NTA is against issuing licences, it said so comprehensively at the Select committee hearing and Mr Conyon is on Record as saying it on several other occasions to, so don't try and mislead us into thinking that the NTA are not concerned about councils delimiting because they are.
The NTA can dress this statement up anyway they want but it still comes out reading the same.
The NTA are concerned when you get an LA like the one in essex and the one in Merseyside, neither of which have given any consideration to the issue of delimitation or regulation outside of the cost of a survey.
Both came to their own differing conclusions, both dont seem that credible.

I'm not giving myself anything of the sort. I'm pointing out that no organisation can now say that 45 or 50% of the Taxi trade is regulated.
We like to see the facts don't we?
Didn't we read in a certain Trade Mag only two months ago that 45 or 50% of the trade was regulated? Well now, they all know a little different don't they? If it weren't for this site highlighting the fact that there are only 35.5% of Authorities with a current policy of regulation, the NTA would probably be non the wiser and perhaps might not have even written their statement.
Yes, but was that ever a point in the first place? In view of the number of regulated and delimited councils.

lol JD that is an assertion

I don't think anything of the sort about the NTA, in fact I think they are perhaps the most sober organisation the hackney carriage trade has. However, it wasn't me who said, "Councils know best" it was the NTA.
Therefore, for the NTA to criticise the democratic way in which councils do business, when it doesn't entirely work out as they planned, is a little rich don't you think?
lol JD, I will ensure an application form is sent out to you, I can foresee a quick rise through the ranks.
The NTA are not critisising anyone, they are making a statement of concern.

My credentials are not the topic of discussion, I lead from the front and you can judge me by what I produce not what I might write in a magazine. As for plates I comment on lies and misinformation, I leave the politics of restricting plates to organisations that work for vested interests such as the NTA and others. It matters not to me who gets what but what does matter to me is the Truth.
I apologise, I shouldnt have asked the question.
I dont think the NTA have lied about anything though.
