    Any hail & ride service as unless you know it exists there is absolutely no indication on street of its presence. Should be a requirement of a small sign on lamp posts and road sign poles plus occupied timetable cases at frequent intervals.

    West Yorkshire bus franchising

    Notice of a planning application has to be served on all parties who not owners by the applicant. Obviously its beneficial to have some sort of agreement with the owner(s) but it is not essential. It may simply be that an agreement is that the owners will not object to the application.
