Years we have been fighting to open the taxi plates up in west
lothian ,
too many years and west lothian council claims that's there no
demand for taxi service in west lothian even when the chief solicitor
of west lothian council clearly state 3 years ago that west lothian
council can not restrict the number of the taxi plates any longer
,also through the only meeting we did attend or should i say we did
received an invitation by the licence committee,
we did clearly point to the huge demand for the taxi service in
west lothian and the whole illegal matter around the renting the taxi
plates in west lothian ,all of that and west lothian decided to
ignore and insist to protect the big boy business ,simply west
lothian council challenge the the civic Government Scotland Act
1982 who gives the each council the right to limited the number of
the taxi plates only if they satisfied
there is no demand for taxi service in they local council
and for sure this term and condition does not apply with west
lothian council
FOR LAST 10 YEARS WEST LOTHIAN
COUNCIL HAVE BEEN CALMING THAT THERE IS NO DEMAND FOR TAXI
SERVICE IN WEST LOTHIAN

RENAULT TRAFFIC
the reason
this information is true and the new rules will only apply to the
new licences and yes we will scream for Scotland!! no for
the whole Europe it is simply means that west lothian council
insist to protect the big boy business who used to and will remain
to rent 10 taxi plate from the council for £3000 and rent them out
to others drivers for more than £50.000 a year illegal money with
west lothian council signature and knowledge and ALSO
PROTECTION AND they can't deny it.
for sure this kind of taxis that west lothian council asking
for will cost at least £25.000 the drivers they already
renting a taxi plate will never manage to pay all of this money
simply because they can't afford it but sure the big boy who earn a
tax free £50.000 easily well be able to buy 20 or maybe even 50 and
after one year the council will says there is too many taxis on the
road as there no one sent the rented taxis plate back sure they will
keep renting a plate as non of them will be able to pay £25.000 +vat
