A major Sefton taxi company has said its drivers are applying for licences from Wolverhampton because of delays of up to two years getting applications processed locally.
Sefton Council has told the LDRS that while there isn’t currently a two year wait there are some drivers who have waited two years to have applications processed. Last week, the Twitter account of Delta taxis, which is registered in Sefton, shared what appears to be a screenshot of an email from Sefton Council to an unknown account.
The subject header of the email states “Urgent. Application 9 weeks no reply.” Within the body of the email it states: “We currently have a two year waiting list for new application, Regards, taxi licensing officer.”
