Fife taxi driver wants council committee to be sacked over Uber row

A FIFE taxi operator has called for a committee of councillors to be dismissed after more than 400 objections to an Uber taxi application were thrown out.

Fife Council’s Regulation and Licensing Committee ruled out a total of 431 representations against Uber Scot Ltd’s application for a taxi operating office in Rosyth as they were branded invalid.

Councillors had been told by solicitor Kevin Clancy, who was acting for Uber, that none of the objections which had been published in council papers were competent.
