Cabbies in convoy protest March 28, 2009 CABBIES gathered in Manchester city centre to protest against taxi deregulation. Around 50 black cab drivers took part in a convoy which circled the town hall for over an hour in a demonstration against Stockport council plans to deregulate black cabs in the town. They said they were also protesting against job cuts at the MEN Media-owned Stockport Express in a shake-up which will see the paper's editorial team moved to Manchester. Posters in the cab windows read: 'Keep the Express in Stockport' and 'No deregulation for Stockport cabs'. Traffic was briefly brought to a standstill when they stopped their taxis on Albert Square. Organiser Dennis Kidd said: "The Express has publicised our plight and supported us and now we want to lend a hand to them. This is a peaceful protest and is not designed to cause disruption. We just want to keep these issues in the public eye." |
