‪Medway Council Issues Uber A Warning‬ ‪Your Time Is Up, We’re Coming For You!‬

 Last nights Medway council meeting- started with cross party support for Cllr Dan McDonald’s motion, calling for Medway to take action, along with the Medway Licence Taxi Driver’s Association (MLTDA), against Über. 

Councillors discussed whether Uber has a case to answer in court for operating illegally in the Medway Towns.

Currently Uber are working the area under a ‘Greater London’ licence issued by Transport for London. The MLTDA questioned whether this was actually lawful.

Cllr McDonald asked the council to, "proceed with the appropriate legal action against Uber" and work with MLTDA.

The influx of this ride share company in the Medway area has caused great hardship among local taxi firms.

Debate inc great maiden speech from Harinder Singh, "Uber your time is up, you've had your chance, we're coming for you."

Cllr Dan McDonald of Medway Council said after the meeting:

"Tonight we achieved a real victory against Uber with my motion receiving cross party support to assist the @MLTDA1 with legal action. 

"A significant decision that will send a message to other councils across the UK . Medway is standing by its drivers, Uber we are coming for you".

Lee Ward of Alpha said :

The support and understanding by Medway council has been astonishing!!!

It has put ALL other councils to shame, and I thank you for it.

I also wish to thank @MLTDA1 for their unity in a time when all other areas have lost faith, my hat is off to you guys, really.
