But the development in smartphone technology has prompted a shift away from the traditional phone call with more and more operators now providing an on-line booking system as part of their service.

This is the second time councillor Wilson has held a summit to discuss licensing laws and has now indicated he will seek further talks with the Scottish Government in the New Year.
