Taxi Driver Online :: View topic - did he jump or was he pushed

It seems the secretary of York Taxi association has been replaced and lots of drivers are no longer talking to him,

Understand that the new secretary is one of the new plates issued last year. If people weren't happy with the old secretary why didn't they get on the committeee and see what actually happens.
BTW any news on the court case in York, its all gone very quiet on that front

now Mr Browne is looking for £100 off every driver if he loses so he can appeal at crown, the new Secretary has also been to see him and once again help has been declined.

What kind of help was declined.

there isn't much time now all taxis to be black and tested by June 1, if the case gets adjourned,more than likely by council getting it adjurned to another date it will then be too late

He could ask the court not to let the council go ahead with there proposals until after the case or take out an injunction

I spoke to the old secretary last night,apparently he went to the blokes house in the very early days along with the other guy who was going to oppose everything, and invited them both to a meeting to discuss the colour thing .

It seems the secretary of York Taxi association has been replaced and lots of drivers are no longer talking to him, he is being blamed for all that is wrong with the trade in general, perhaps they should look back and remember what he did for them in the past, lets have a look in a years time and see if his replacement is as good.

In other words in most cases, time is meaningless where the law is concerned. Regardss JD
