THEY may be regarded by some as a rather brash and ostentatious
mode of transport, but American stretch limos have now been
officially accepted by the authorities.
Rotherham Council's licensing board set up a new Special Occasion
Private Hire category last year to take account of such vehicles and
the first has now been registered.
Stretch limos did not fall into any of the existing licensing
categories but will now be subjected to similar rules affecting
private hire vehicles and hackney carriages.
Lee Antcliff, owner of the firm 21st Century, is the first to get
official council plates for his vehicle.
