Express & Star comment: There’s no end in sight for Wolverhampton taxi row
Wolverhampton council continues to fight its corner in the ongoing row over private hire licensing.
The city has cornered the market when it comes to handing out taxi licences, with applicants travelling from far and wide to take the council’s test.
Bosses insist it is because the service they offer is simply better than the others, but that hasn’t stopped the authority building up a list of enemies that is getting longer by the day.
Other councils, including Nottingham, Birmingham and Coventry, have raised serious concerns about Wolverhampton’s system.
