Welcome To Constables Carriage Company
Located in Brewood, Staffordshire, Constables Carriage
Company is family run specialising in offering a truly professional, reliable and individual service for your special day,
wedding, civil partnership, birthday, school prom or any other occasion that demands a grand arrival.
Our 1933 Wolseley 9
vintage car (thought to be only eighteen remaining in the world) has been restored and maintained to a very high standard
with most of its original features, ensuring that you will experience the same pleasure the original owners enjoyed that guarantees
a head turning attraction to any occasion. For your wedding our car is tastefully decorated with flowers and ribbons. White,
ivory or champagne dresses look outstanding against the black and burgundy paintwork, contra opening doors allow easy access
for large dresses, and is driven by a mature, courteous, articulate chauffeur in either period costume or uniform to
complement your own requirements. We invite you to view the car in its 'Motor-House' to discuss all your individual requirements.
Areas we cover include Wolverhampton, Stafford, Cannock,
Walsall, Telford, Penkridge, Codsall, Albrighton, Shifnal, Pattingham, Wheaton Aston, Featherstone, Wednesfield, Wednesbury,
West Bromwich and all surrounding villages.
Important Announcement
We regret that the opportunity to hire our vintage vehicle for the use other than
weddings has had to be suspended for the time being. This is owing to South Staffordshire Council
and their recent revision of policy that does not permit the use of our vehicle for hire; in their opinion they consider
our service to be a 'taxi' and is therefore subject to private hire regulations! Private hire regulations do not permit vehicles
older that 10 years and an engine capacity less than 1300cc to be licensed as a taxi.
You can appreciate our frustration over the introduction of a policy that denies everyone,
especially the young and the elderly, the opportunity to experience either their first journey or to re-live a memory in a
historic vehicle and being the only local operator of a historic car for events other than weddings a policy that is, in our
opinion, unfair and not implemented in the spirit in which it is intended. The objective of the legislation is to raise the
standards of vehicles and operators of vehicles like stretch limousines and unroadworthy vehicles. The irony is that well
maintained vehicles are being excluded.
If you agree with our comments, please assist us in our appeal by emailing David Pattison,
Head of Legal and Licensing, South Staffordshire Council: d.pattison@staffs.gov.uk
