CTO Fare proposal 30.11.2023 
Clydebank Taxi Operators Group called a general meeting on 22 November 2023.
We met at Clydebank Community Sports Hub and 18 members attended.
Our meeting was publicised 7 days in advance of the meeting date, in accordance with our constitution.
Non-members were welcome and 2 non-members attended on the night.
Main business of the night centred around a possible fare tariff change.
We discussed all aspects of our current fare chart in depth and heard the views of all of our members present.
Members debated fully what the implications of any increase could have on our trade. 
Members had highlighted that our trade, revenue and workforce have declined as a direct result of the pandemic.
They had sighted a downturn in revenue, rising fuel costs, higher insurance premiums and increasing costs for
parts and labour as on-going concerns affecting our trade. Members also voiced concerns about the rising cost of
inflation and the fear surrounding the cost of living crisis. 
The majority of members voted by show of hands for the need for an increase in tariff.
We heard various proposals for increase and each new tariff was proposed and seconded on the night.
Once we had 2 proposals left on the table for each tariff the members voted by a show of hands and the majority
carried as the wishes of our members. 
All proposals put forward to your office reflect the motions passed by our members on the night and we ask that
these proposals come before the licensing committee at the earliest opportunity.
