London: Uber’s licence in the southern English coastal city of Brighton will not be renewed, the local council said on Tuesday, adding the taxi app is not “fit and proper” and citing concerns over a data breach and the use of drivers from outside the area. The Silicon Valley firm is also battling a decision by London’s transport regulator last September to strip the firm of its licence, after which Brighton granted a six-month extension while it monitored the situation. On Tuesday, the Chair of Brighton’s licensing panel Councillor Jackie O’Quinn said the council would not renew the firm’s right to operate in the area, partly after the company failed to promptly disclose a hack which affected some 57 million accounts worldwide.
