Blaenau Gwent Council issues first ‘stretch limo’ licence

19 March 2010

Shaun McCarthy of Brynmawr firm South Wales Limo has been granted the first ‘stretch limo’ private hire driver’s license in Blaenau Gwent - and his hire car is the first stretch limo to be licensed.

Blaenau Gwent Council’s Licensing Team issued the licenses after the Council adopted a policy to bring the vehicles within the licensing regime for private hire vehicles.
  
Shaun McCarthy said:
“It was a rigorous process. I had to go through the same vetting as a taxi driver. But it was worth it. “

The Licensing Team can be contacted on 01495 355961.
