feeder park mobile cabin
Monday, 11 July 2011 11:07 | Written by George Simms |
Dear all, I've now had the opportunity to consider the points that many of you have raised over the last few months about the mobile cabin facility that was condemned earlier this year at the feeder park, as summarised in the email dated 24th June from Mr Tanvir Nawaz. Having once again reviewed the report by the independent assessor into the condition of the facility, I maintain that it was the right decision to prevent access on health and safety grounds with immediate effect. By offering you and the other taxi drivers free car parking for up to an hour in the short stay car parks, I believe that we kept to the spirit of the arrangement between MA and the ITA because this enables you to use the multi-faith Prayer Rooms in the terminals. You may be aware from our Master Plan to 2030 published in 2006 that the area where the feeder park and Premier Park are located is earmarked for the future development of Terminal 3 and may also be affected by our recently published Airport City development plan. Until we were able to determine the short and medium term future of this area, replacing the mobile cabin - at a cost running into five figures - did not make sense. I have now been able to confirm that this area will not be affected by any major development in the short to medium term and on this basis, we will replace the cabin as soon as practically possible. In addition we would like to discuss the facilities on the feeder park at the next liaison meeting, so I would encourage you to confirm your attendance to Dominic Kershaw.

Letter from Birmingham City Council Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Enforcement
Thursday, 10 March 2011 08:39 | Written by George Simms |
Dear Mr SimmsThank you for your recent email enquiring about the work of the licensing enforcement team in Birmingham. I apologise for the delay in responding.The enforcement team consists 14 officers,including a principal officer and team manager. Two officers are office based and deal with routine enquiries, accident notifications and the administration of Simple Cautions. The remaining officers are field officers. We also have a police officer seconded to the team.As a team we enforce general licensing requirements,(such as the Licensing Act, Gambling Act, Street Collections, Door to Door collections , Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act relating to sex establishments, and Birmingham City Council Act which controls premises offering massage or other special treatments), and the requirements for hackney carriages and private hire.We currently have 1,439 licensed hackney carriage drivers and 6,043 licensed private hire drivers. We also have 1,453 licensed hackney carriage vehicles and 5,550 licensed private hire vehicles.The majority of our enforcement operations involving private hire or hackney carriages are carried out with the cooperation of the police, either via the seconded officer or through partnership working with neighbourhood officers or traffic officers. The police officers in the majority of these activities with neighbourhood or traffic officers are not funded by the licensing service, although we have a small fund which will allow us to buy in additional police resources for larger operations.Enforcement Officers are required to work one evening / late shift per week between 8pm and 2am. They may also be required to work one weekend shift per month for which they will receive overtime payments.As far as complaints are concerned , this year these can be broken down asfollows:
