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

WOW HAVE A LOOK  AT THIS ONE

taxi plate will be open soon with far much more restrict policy such as the age of the vehicle, the disable access has to be from the side door

my warning here is for both taxi drivers whose been waiting very long to see they dreams come true and also west lothian council

CARS FOR NEW TAXI LICENSE BUY WEST LOTHIAN COUNCIL ONLY APPLY TO NEW LICENSE AND NOT TO ANY LICENSE ALREADY IN USE VERY FAIR FROM WEST LOTHIAN COUNCIL EXACTLY AS EVERY ONE EXPECTED

VAUXHALL MOVANO

VW TRANSPORTER

VW CARAVELLE

MERCEDES M8

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
