You'd think, wouldn't you? I pointed out to him that we're officially endorsing cab drivers with a Hyndburn Council badge and, as such, they need to be squeaky clean. I didn't get a response.
As far as I understand it, taxi licencing could be something of a sticky wicket with the Asian community but surely that is why we have a Cabinet member for Community Cohesion? Not to knock the work of Cllr Dobson, but I imagine that would fall within his purview in order to smooth any troubled brows.
I've said it before but we're here to run the borough well for the residents, not be everyone's best friend.
