Operating cannot begin under a grant or temporary route until the licence is granted.
Operating cannot begin under a grant or temporary route until the licence is granted.
The checked pages state this for renewal; live grant-upload fields were not opened.

This private-hire frequency is stated consistently; the taxi page inconsistency remains a separate conflict gap.
Vehicle-specific compliance must still be checked through the council checker.
These are council vehicle-licensing fees only and say nothing about radio, dispatch, insurance, rental or purchase costs.

This is the council booking-office fee only and does not establish any commercial radio or dispatch cost.

The current GOV.UK summary corroborates these core records; the 2009 source is as made and full current statutory effect remains an explicit gap.

These points are deliberately not inferred. Open the list to see exactly what still needs current source confirmation.
Radio/dispatch supplier terms are not presented as council licensing requirements.
