I notice all Liverpool hackney carriage drivers will be notified but I wonder what the permit limit will be?

Naturally no permits would be nice but if payments are to be the norm then I prefer the barrier system as I believe that is the fairest.

I think if they have reached a pre determined figure then they may use the option of decreasing the permit charge while at the same time increasing the number of permit holders.

I said I was surprised at the permit charge but I think the charge may eventually come down to the number of applicants they get?

I assume any Liverpool driver can use the ranks at the moment but is it worth their while?

Regards

In respect of captain cabs assumption that we all have to be in our own areas when taking a radio job can you tell me if any of your vehicles work on a radio circuit and do you tell them to always come back to Sefton if they wan't to be within the law, when taking a radio job?

That is the same as what I had been told, it would seem that they are arguing about how much.................. do buses have to pay?

Firstly the radio system is in Sefton, and drivers are licensed in Sefton, and so are the cabs, as for the case you are discussing , it seems to me the relevant point is that the drivers engage their metres in their own areas. Which to me means that they were hired and therefore could not be plying for hire........ But what do I know :roll:

I can't see why the Liverpool trade are unhappy about limiting permits.

Maybe those vehicles that have permits can be tripled shifted. :?

Thats not what I asked, I asked if a sefton taxi was travelling through Liverpool and he took a radio job for a hire in Liverpool is he plying for hire by accepting that job? Captain cab is under the impression that he is.

T&G policy is free and open access, Tommy Mcintyre is a Liverpool driver he does not own a cab, apart from representing the T&G in Liverpool he is also a national convenor .
