Whatever. There is essentially no plying for hire in South
Cambridgeshire, and won't be any in the forseeable future, despite
what some non-residents may think. The solution to the northern
station remains a simple agreement by which the two councils
agree that a taxi licensed by either are licensed by the other
for that location. No boundary changes needed, and well within
the scope of "acting reasonably and fairly".

I believe this would also require that taxis in both areas have meters
which run at the same rate, which would require the two councils to bind
their rates together indefinitely, and hold joint meetings to set the rate.

I agree that would be an obstacle if it were true, but I rather
doubt that it is. It wouldn't be insoluble even if it were true,
as the solution would remain a simple (but binding) arrangement
between the two councils.

Of course, that's unthinkable ....
