I don't think they have a website but a search online is putting up a fakebook home page; perhaps you should try that.

The website was given up on due to the increasing costs of the host (rip off b*stards)

And with covid everything went a bit Pete Tong, little communication and a trade that saw the retirement of the old guard and no apparent successors

The NTA do still exist and some regions meet on a regular basis, but the new drivers.....I despair :sad:

I've left the Trade, but the newer Drivers wouldn't join the Local Association, moaned when the Local Association couldn't speak to the Council with sizeable membership, and the Old Guard were retiring as well.

Plymouth Licensed Taxi Association donated all funds held to local Charities and folded.

Region was running well (though Plymouth had left previously), but gave up the Ghost when the Regional Secretary was blackballed by the NTA.

The National Secretary supported the Regional Secretary - and new Board Members did make overtures to get him back, but it was all too late.

I no longer hold a grudge, but it was all so badly handled.

I wish all good will to the NTA as a whole, in particular to the National Secretary, and to any current Board Members who realise and regret the mistakes of their predecessors.

I would encourage everyone to be a Member of the NTA. If that doesn't suit, join the NPHA or one of the Unions. Your voice as an individual is a whisper, get together it's a ROAR!

The old guard has gone from the NTA, sad to know you've left the job, as it was better for your presence, regions should elect representatives (and do), not the less gallant 6
