We would like you to recall 6 seater & 8 seater taxi/private hire vehicles back

Petition Details

You recently have stopped 6 & 7 seater vehicles being able to be plated as a taxi/pvt hire in Northamptonshire customers need them back, companies need them back and drivers need to be able to earn the correct wage in the vehicles

Additional Information

It is affecting drivers wages due to not earning the ‘6 or 8 seater’ amount, it’s affecting customers with family’s bigger than 4, ie sending 2x vehicles would cost more money that ordering a 6 seater. Also if a single mother is with her 4 children how will she get them all home? It’s affecting companies and also before this we had them around for many years without any issues, aswell as 8 seaters
