The artical that said that Edinburgh taxi number had not increased in five year is untrue. 49 new taxis plates where issued in the year 2004.
is this correct ask the Skull for the answer
Halcrow Report completed 2001 recommendation 49 new licence plates last plate to go on 2002. The Halcrow Report also recommended de-restriction.
I said “1260 taxis for the last 4-5 years” this is 2005 by the time the council implemented the next increase based on the Jacobs Report, if any, it would be implemented in 2006 count it up for yourself.
Now Buck tell me how many PHC plates have went on in the last 4-5
years and tell me this is not indicative of a latent unmet demand. If the PHC is not eating into your work then who is?
One hundred PHC have gone on since we applied in Nov 2004 up to today’s date. How much work do you think you are going to have in another couple of years Buck?
The PHC are going on from between 15-26 a month compared with 5- 10, 5 years ago.
What do you think it is that you are protecting it certainly isn’t your work that’s for sure.
Taxis or PHC your choice?
