Three days to go :
The Save Our Black Taxis campaign group #SaveTaxis, will be holding their second demonstration on September 5th from 1-3pm opposite Downing Street.
Spearheaded by cabbie’s wife Artemis Mercer, thousands of partners, wives, husbands, friends and families of Licensed London Black Cab drivers have come together to stand united against what they describe as the “woeful failure of Transport for London to regulate the taxi and private hire market in London.”
At present, TfL are pushing out an extra 2,000 new private hire drivers every month!
How much long long can this city sustain this expansion?
Despite the continued lies, there is no visible enforcement against illegally plying for hire or touting by minicabs!
Drivers have been screaming for action on social media, well here's your chance to get out and protest.
If you can join us please come along and if anyone needs a free taxi to get there email us at mail@dpac.uk.net

Do you think Uber should be banned
You have to realise how important these polls are, they are about public opinion. If we let ourselves slip down the polls it will be goodnight Vienna !
Every Licensed Taxi Wheelchair Accessable :
For disabled people living in London, transport is woefully inadequate and while traditional black cabs may not provide a complete transport solution for all at the moment, they do offer a means of travelling that is at least accessible to many disabled travellers.
Mayor Boris Johnson and TfL’s lack of regulation enforcement is however threatening the continued existence of black cabs and allowing the licensing of private hire vehicles which do not have to be accessible in any way.
Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC) see this as a backward move away from improving travel options for disabled people in London and will be supporting the forthcoming protest.

Yes, a positive move; even better if the trade orgs get together to take on TfL. If this happens I will rejoin who I consider to be the best representative body and support the cause. I hope the Taxi age limit is included in the proposed action as thousands of cab drivers need to be compensated for this corruptly imposed TfL strategy.
This Uber nonsense cannot be allowed to continue! There is obvious foul play from the very highest level.
TFL couldn't run a bath let alone the finest taxi trade in the world, they genuinely haven't got a clue
what the legislation on the rules & regulations are. They continuely move the goal posts & seem to be
making it up as they go along. I'm convinced they'll get exposed & a "Sep Blatter" moment is imminent.
Please keep up the good work LTDA & all the other protesters family's, friends & other trade unions that
are working so hard to expose these comedians.
