However the council was divided by the motion proposed by Labour's Cllr Ahsan Khan for Callowlands in favour of stricter protections and tighter regulations for licensed taxi drivers in Watford.

The public gallery was full of supporters voicing their frustrations of the rejection of the motion.

Two propositions were put forward to discuss building regulations in light of the disaster at Grenfell Tower in London.

These motions will be voted on at a later date in more specified meetings.

Further articles fully exploring these issues will be posted tomorrow.
