I don’t know where she expects these taxis to go? Maybe they could build a ramp so that they can rank up ontop of the central station, or since they are talking about taxis driving themselves at heathrow, she maybe getting confused with back to the future where cars fly! Why dont these people actually come & sit in my cab on a weekend as a observer & then pass your judgement, rather than making things up in your towers!!!

The annoying thing about this is that Baroness Wilkins is nothing more than a “Activist”, and Activists rarely know what they are talking about!, this looney Labour woman was heavily involved in Occupational Therapy and yet she was not a qualified Occupational Therapist herself..say no more eh?.
I suppose Gainmanor (the Doblo shop) at the Silverlink will finacially gain if she gets her way, sadly no one else will.

email sent to Lady Wilkins:
Dear Lady Wilkins,
I write with concern about your proposed amendment to the 2010 Equality Bill Re: section 16 of the 1985 Transport Act.Our website (toomanytaxis.com) constantly highlights the fact that there are already too many taxis and the fact that LA’s do not provide enough rank spaces,I am a Taxi driver myself and rarely even make the minimum wage for the hours I put in.Also in view of the complete mess in Ireland with regard to the deregulation of Taxis, I cannot understand why anyone would wish to replicate that situation in the rest of the British isles.
