Taxi drivers will continue go-slow protest after the council said it would not attend talks to solve the dispute over clear air zone charges.
They claim they were ‘steamrolled’ over the plans to impose a Clean Air Zone on the city in 2020 and that it would plunge them into ‘greater financial hardship.’
Taxi drivers have been staging go-slow protest in the city centre during rush hour for the past two weeks, causing major delays for other drivers on the roads.
Cllr Barbara Dring, chair of the licensing committee, said the council had ‘done the best we can’ for the drivers.
Taxi drivers will be staging go-slow protests every day in the city centre on:
- Wednesday 8th May 2019 – 15.00 – 18.00
- Thursday 9th May 2019 – 15.00 – 18.00
- Friday 10th May 2019 – 15.00 – 18.00
- Monday 13th May 2019 – 15.00 – 18.00
- Tuesday 14th May 2019 – 15.00 – 18.00
- Wednesday 15th May 2019 – 15.00 – 18.00
- Thursday 16th May 2019 – 15.00 – 18.00
