A spokesman for Liverpool council stated earlier today that the council will have no alternative but to license the new Mercedes seeing as how it conforms to the councils policy of the London conditions of fitness.

Can't understand why Liverpool council follows exactly what London does.

Aren't they bright enough to work out their own policies?

To be quite honest the Licensing department take are more guarded view than the person who who suggested they would have to license if it met the pco conditions of fitness. The licensing department are of the opinion that they will only make a decision if and when a vehicle application is presented.

Talk about being thick.... the vehicle has to be passed by the licensing committee..... for it to be passed somebody has to apply......

Why does it?

Does a new Skoda have to go before the committee?

the licensing officer has delegated powers regarding what they would call private hire saloons vehicles.... but Hackney's go before the committee

It's called having a written policy, in this case the minutes of a council meeting, which, if passed, will then be transferred into the council's HC licensing policy.

It shows democracy in action & is far less likely to be challenged that a decision by a licensing officer.

But why does a hackney carriage need to go before a committee when a PH doesn't?

Doesn't make sense.

They have only ever Licenced one type of hackney all the rest have been knocked back, I suppose this will be updated when another vehicle is accepted..... and Metros of course

Don't say that to a certain part of the member known as JD.

He wants all councils abolished and the new "authority" to do the same in every area without thinking whats best for people in different areas.

So you are more than happy with your council's actions over the last 10 years?

That is rather obvious to us.

I don't even know if those comments were directed at my post but if you read it again the post is self explanatory. One person is saying, "if it meets London's PCO conditions of fitness then it will probably be licensed" another person is saying, "even if it meets the PCO conditions of fitness it still might not be licensed because it might not meet Liverpool's conditions of fitness"?

In other words, as far as Liverpool is concerned it is not about the condition of the vehicle but its appearance.
