Nothing in the legislation to prevent as far as I know, and it's commonplace in many areas (eg Brighton, Gateshead). If the LA has a rule to prevent it then I'd like to see it standing up in court. |

Your LO is a pillock of the highest degree. 
I would say within a radius of 50 miles from where I'm sitting their are 100+ mixed fleet firms, and maybe just one that isn't. 
Ask your LO is tell you where in the legislation you are prohibited from running mixed fleets. Ask him what law stops a taxi working on a PH circuit. Or better still ask him to come on here.

| Post subject: | HOW ABOUT THIS!!! |
You have a private hire firm ADVERTISING as a TAXI firm. They have photos of HACKNEYS on there adverts. The council say that is ok???????? Why because the owner or operator is a dual badge......who is NOT EVEN IN THE COUNTRY. is sat there laugh with some BULLY dictating to the drivers who are keeping HIM in pocket. Our view is you advertise as a TAXI firm you MUST.... MUST ... MUST.. run at meter rates.. IE.... A PRIVATE HIREON A TAXT FIRM MUST HAVE A METER FITTED??? Any legislation on that from anyone. Would be a great help before I lose my house |

As there are a number of councils that don't have set meter rates, then I doubt you will find what you want. |

Most offices here run taxis and PH. Meter rates are identical as both are licenced by the same authority |

Our council do control the meter rate so I know have asked eslewhere on here but can I please put the question to you. In a council tariff run town. A firm advertising as a TAXI firm by words Taxi and pictures of taxis on there bill boards and cards ect. If the have a p/h plated car on the firm surely the p/h would have to be fitted with a meter to come up or down to the same fair structure as what the council in our area sets? Look forward to your reply or anyone elses. Cheers |
