A complaint has been made against two councillors about comments made in the Press about tuk-tuks.
Brighton transport company, Tuc Tuc Ltd, were criticised in the letters page of The Argus by Brighton and Hove city councillors Ted Kemble and Brian Oxley.
Councillor Kemble is employed as a taxi driver and taxi companies in the city have previously expressed their annoyance with the tuk-tuk service.
Executive director of Tuc Tuc Ltd Dominic Pooniah recently announced plans to operate a new dial-and-ride service in the city.
He said: "We are appalled Councillor Kemble has stooped so low as to play party politics with the tuk-tuk service.
"It is high time taxi drivers ceased complaining about tuk-tuks. They do not have the right to dictate to the public what mode of transport they should use."
