Because I'm not talking about the status of the land, it could be owned

South Cambs" or "inside the City" for hackney-hailing purposes.

All that's needed is a derogation which says that for taxi-hailing
purposes it's deemed to be in both.


Is that legally possible? Can one spot


It only needs to be a small spot. Just the taxi rank would do.

be in two districts simultaneously?


It doesn't have to *be* in two districts at once. Just DEEMED to be FOR
THE PURPOSES OF HACKNEY HAILING ONLY.

Would occupants be liable to pay council tax to both district

Of course not, it's only in South Cambs.


Whilst I appreciate threads have a habit of drifting, how is this
seriously now related to uk.transport.london ?

An answer of "this thread is about Uber minicabs in London, hence all
and any discussion of minicabs/taxis/hackney carriages is on topic" will
probably not go down well as it's as relevant as there are pedants in
Cambridage as well as in London hence any discussion of pedantry is on
topic.
