Surely if there was no demand for hackney carriages in South Cambs
previously, and this new science park creates such a demand, one thing
to do would be to allow a small number of South Cambs private hires to
become South Cambs hackney carriages.

Tht would be very disappointing for any fare who expected that a
Hackney Carriage hired at the station could necessarily find their way
to anywhere in Cambridge (or anywhere else, given that SCDC don't have
a knowledge test at all).

All the more reason to make it possible for Cambridge Hackneys to
operate from there. Although city residents by and large seem happy to
use South Cambs private hire vehicles to get around on a day to day
basis.
