This is a common problem throughout the land CC, what do you think? More organised responses to their LA's inadequacies or what?
We had a problem with rank space at weekends, at nights at peak times, were over full. After a polite well written letter to the Hampshire Police boss (ME Hee Hee, where we threatened strike action at peak times at throw out time!!!!!) They got on to the council to have part time ranks put in at the requested spots outside night spots. It took 6 months but we got 'em!! The police were more lenient at those places where they were moving drivers on as they agreed in principle that we were right!! It saved them a lot of grief!!!
Funnily enough when drivers were getting penalty points or possible suspension on their Hack drivers licences, they all wanted to join the Union....
