First, we were told that TfL had indeed submitted the E-Taxis in bus lane signs and that they were not commissioned by Manchester as published in Taxi paper.
Second, we informed that the LTDA and Unite the union had voted against all meetings with TfL being minuted.
It should be pointed out that the LCDC, UCG and RMT voted for minutes being taken and therefore should hold a majority.
Now we have the news that after the Mayor’s big announcement on TV media and in the press, TfL have cut the number of PCOs from 330 to 250.
Will Steve McNamara and Mike Hedges please make statements as to why they voted against having meetings with TfL fully minuted?
TAXI LEAKS EXTRA BIT : from Grant Davis .
It now seems that TfL have rolled over again:
English language requirement for private hire drivers
TfL said today:-
English language requirement for private hire drivers
The deadline to satisfy the English language requirement has been extended to 30 April 2019. After listening to the private hire industry, we are now considering revising the English language assessment.
These changes will make sure the assessment reflects areas specifically relevant to the role of a private hire driver and remain at Level B1 standard.
The extension to the deadline will give drivers more time to demonstrate that they meet the standard. If you have already submitted evidence, we will respond to you when this has been reviewed.

Surly any members of the LTDA, UNITE, should be asking why don’t they want these meetings minuted? Moor importantly why has the minority been allowed to win the vote of today. How much longer we as a trade are just going to keep rolling over. Is it not time that we flext our muscles and showered what we are as a united trade. Enouth, is enouth.
