Chairman Of The LCDC Writes To Boris Johnson, Grant Shapps And Sadiq Khan, Asking For Age Limit To Be Frozen At 14 Years, As Taxi Emissions Have Already Been Cut By 45%.

With the high numbers of older taxis coming off the the taxi fleet in London and the numbers at an all time low, we have the figures to show that we ( taxi trade ) have cut our emissions by a staggering 45% already.

Next year there will be 2,200 more taxis coming off the road and because of this I have asked the Mayor, Boris Johnson and Grant Shapps to agree that the age limit is frozen at 14 years.

We have all the relevant data to substantiate our position.

Today, I received this reply.
