Six local authorities in Northumberland are to merge and create one giant authority. Two authorities are restricted and four are unrestricted so something has to give in respect of hackney carriage licensing? The Secretary of state won't sanction any new Taxi licensing zones therefore my money is on the two restricted councils becoming unrestricted unless the legal departments concerned come up with something original?

Regards

JD

Well if thats the case the Berwick drivers will be pleased they will legally be able to pick up in Newcastle, and all those that got a PH licence from berwick will be able to change there plates over to a hack one, the Berwick licence department will be extremely busy as there hack licence fee's are a quarter of what Newcastle charge

Newcastle is not one of the six Skippy.

The Northumbrian councils are as follows.

Alnwick District Council | Berwick-upon-Tweed Borough Council | Blyth Valley Borough Council | Castle Morpeth Borough Council | Derwentside District Council | Tynedale District Council | Wansbeck District Council |

Regards

JD
