#Savetaxi campaign brings Whitehall to a standstill

Whitehall was the scene of the latest protest against TFLs Taxi regulation in the capital. On Saturday 5th September Taxi drivers and their families protested near Downing street, with the roads gridlocked and temporarily closed by police at 1pm.

The second protest of its kind was directed at TFLs continuing lack of enforcement on a number of issues such as:

  • Private Hire licencing numbers
  • E-Hail
  • The use of Private Hire drivers phone as a meter by the likes of Uber even though TFL state that only Black Taxis can use a meter
  • No enforcement of illegal touting

The list continues

The families have highlighted the effect that lack of enforcement of TFLs own rules is having not only on the iconic London Taxi trade but also on their families.
