What's the meeting about?

Wednesday and Thursday morning at 3 am there is to be a meeting in the Royal Oak Taxi Centre. As this mainly affects night drivers the time has been chosen so drivers can still take a nights money before we meet up.

An agenda would be nice.

We have started an email campaign and are pressuring the LTDA to push for a legal hearing.

What's the meeting about?

I know Bob Oddy he is a competent individual

Glad you asked! I don't know why you had to though. Its been the Major story and talking point of the whole London Taxi trade except for one driver who seems to work, isolated and blinkered.

This is a meeting called by John Kenedy. Here is his recent post from a London Taxi Drivers Forum.

Now here is the koo, we must act now and force the hand of our trade organisations by creating a little noise and banging the drum, we can mobilise the membership of all organisations and gain support very quickly from amongst our ranks.

The Oak is a pretty good place to meet, i'm a night driver and will can meet Tuesday, Wednesday, next week......3.00 am sound ok.....this way we can all earn much needed money and then have a meeting afterwards.

If we can agree a way forward, i'll ensure it gets on the airwaves to most night drivers via BBC London and LBC.

It is pointless having trade organisations that are afraid to seek recourse to law for fear of failing and losing a point of law.....

I know Bob Oddy he is a competent individual who now has the ear of the Mayor of London, I urge you Bob to persuade the Mayor to stop this madness now for the chill wind of recession will bring about change that many in suits may not like.

This industry must wake up and realise this is a chance, a opportunity to finally grasp the nettle and build a brighter future for us all. We have lost work because the cosy corporate world kept the circuits busy and produced a taxi cab driver who thought this was the easier way to work. Well those days are over, our circuits have become mini-cab firms so lets get our for hire lights on ( not too hard ) and retake our ranks, reclaim our streets and serve the public who want to use us 24/7.

Note after midnight it is the date changes so lets make it Wednesday and Thursday 3.00am we don't need millions to turn up but I'll mention this on air Sunday/Monday night on bbc London 94.9fm and Lbc 97.3fm.

Now please be positive and remember when you are six foot under that's when you give up, until then you are alive and with a little support we can move mountains over the next 3-5 years....the journey will be tough....it will seem impossible at times.....funny that it sounds like the knowledge and YES you all got through that.

I will contact this week the Met Police with the view of organising a weekly picket of Westminster City Hall and then Transport for London Windsor house, this picket made up of just six drivers will highlight our plight and generate a little media storm/circus.......

This is a meeting to discuss the new mini cab rank in Whitcomb street. TFL's attitude towards the Taxi Trade, Why Bob Oddie has remained silent for six months and refused to answer emails from the trade,
Plus the increasing virus of clipboard johnnies. Time to end the apathy.
If you have a view worth discussing come along.

captain cab said "I thaough you said he was a tw*t?"

if you read the post properly you will see its a repost from John Kennedy.

I was referring to previous posts from yourself maligning Mr O
