Exactly right but since 1986 it has been common knowledge that the only way a council can legally expect to retain quantity controls is by way of a market research survey? Thus the general acceptance of compulsory surveys for restricting authorities.

Aye, but apart from that, the 85 transport act doesn't actually mention the word survey (it doesn't mention hippopotamus either)


You know very well why it doesn't mention surveys, in fact it was put there to make it ambiguous as possible. And who put it there and for what purpose? It might have been at the instigation of Lord Renton on behalf of the restricted Taxi trade but it was the legal mind of Lord Denning who constructed the passage of clause 16.

The clause is void of all rational because it gives no guidance as to how such demand could or should be measured. It was ultimately left to the courts to determine how demand should be measured because even the DfT didn't have a clue? That shows precisely what a dogs dinner of a clause, it turned out to be.

Maybe all a judge needs to see, is a council making a decision in a reasonable and fair manner.

True MrT, but when a matter needs to go to court then surely the legislation needs looking at ?

Perhaps there needs to be a repeal of various sections of the 1847 act?

If it was done by Halcow or TPI, then I could tell you word for word what's in it. Only the numbers will differ. :wink:

But its the numbers that's important ................. is it not.

Surveys are not acceptable as a way of fully assessing unmet demand ........... as you quite rightly point out the substance of most is very similar.

We should be working to get the RIGHT number of vehicles licensed, as well as making sure the vehicles and those driving them are of the highest standard.

For quite a number of years, due to conversations with the Manchester Taxi owners Association, I have been under the impression that Manchester had a great deal to do with the actual wording......
