In your opinion :wink:

I take it you have never read a SUD survey?

If however you have, then you are a lot more naive than I thought.

What makes you think that after deregulation and the deregulation of vehicle age limits and standards throughout the country, there won't be a complete flooding of your LA area with drivers, vehicles and new operator, most of which will be prepared to work, 14, 16, 18 hours a day and at half the mileage charges you currently run at?

The difference between what you appear to be saying and what I'm saying is that you are implying the whole report is sh** just because it proposes a removal of council's ability to restrict taxi numbers, whereas I'm saying that despite there being some iffy bits in the report, it's not all bad.

It's about time some people opened their eyes up a bit more.

When theres enough taxis, you dont like surveys do you ? Out of curiosity is there anyone who posts on here from a deregulated area who thinks it was for the best ?

I don't like taxi quotas nor surveys that ensure they remain.

Quite why your side of the trade is so weak they need such protection is something that your lot will have to justify to the LC.

Else you will have to join us mere mortals who manage without such protection.

Weak ? Try looking at your own side for a definition of that,as for surveys that you dont like tough,you dont really have any answers do you ? If its so rosy being ph stick with it and leave the other alone. Oh wait your probally thinking for the good of your fellow drivers arent you :roll:

It's not me that wrote the LC's report, so tell them to leave you alone.

All I'm doing is pointing out the failures of your side of the trade. Doesn't mean you or anyone else driving cabs are failures, far from it, just that your restricted system is doomed.

You need to prepare for a future without council protection. I'm just surprised it has taken so long.

They have been told and i dont see the failures that you talk about.We have a good taxi service here and a reasonable time with the council over most things.I dont know your own cicumstances but im guessing you work for a ph firm which i dont.Is that what you want for everyone ? You carry on with your mantra of plates for all,but its far from over.

I'm saying the whole report is sh*t for different reasons, but the fact remains its a p*ss poor effort, what you describe as iffy could be interpreted as foolish (as best), and stupid (at worst).

And thats getting away from the deregulation argument.

What the LC have come up with......spending god knows how much of the almost half a million they are being paid is not exactly horseshite, because horseshite will have least have the benefit of making sure your roses grow well, what they have managed to achive is something so bad, everyone is seemingly against it.

Including wedding and funeral cars whilst ignoring volunteers? ffs can someone explain that to me?

allowing cross border.....no....legalising it? wtf were these muppets actually on when they thought up that one?

declaring their interest in national standards......then not giving us a scoobs wtf they meant by national standards......not only that, not even suggesting which councils where f*cking sh*te? (I'll give you two examples....rossendale and gelding are pretty much retarded)

Lets look at their useless.....nay f*cking incompetant impact assessment, which could be 500% out?

ffs, I would expect a primary school class to have come up with something better via google.

:wink:

Tbh I'm not sure what you're saying because you don't really explain things particularly well. For example what is good about the LC report?

Plenty which I've already gone through a number of times on here.

However when I've finished my response I will list them, but for the record so far there has been more good than bad.
