Has anyone been invited to the Law Commission meeting at the NPHA HQ?

THe Law Commission are also meeting Unite the Union as well as the NPHA.

I wonder if they are meeting with the NTA too?

It would be good if the Law Commission also met grass-roots, long standing in the taxi trade, proprietors and drivers!!

If you ask me nicely.... I will come and hold your hand :wink: ..... and the question should be.... not is the taxi trade ready for the law Commission....But is the Law Commission ready to go to war with the taxi trade....

Firstly, I know you are the Green Cross Code Man, but I am now old enough to cross the road myself.

Secondly, why war?

If anyone in the taxi trade believes that they can win a battle with MPs and the Law Commission, let alone a war, then we are deluding ourselves!!

I believe that this time the Transport Select Committee mean business and now that the Law Commisson has decided to take on board the Transport Ministers request to review and modernise taxi and private hire legislation, the Law Commission too means business.

The legislation covering the taxi and private hire trade is now firmly part of the Law Commission's programme of legislative reform and for that reason I believe it will happen.

Rather than do a 'King Canute', I believe that the taxi trade should be engaging in meaningful discussions with the Law Commission with robust and consequential enforcement as the very top issue

As I have said before, you can have any legislation you wish, but without effective enforcement that legislation is useless.

A National Taxi Commission with enforcement officers all singing from the same legal hymn-sheet, working 24/7 would be a good start.
You're already in the middle of a political war... if you don't realise that.... what can I say....

Charlie..... it is important that the voice of the individual taxi-driver and private hire driver is heard...... and it is important that these people are made to understand the consequences of the changes they are considering.... from what I can see at the moment... people believe that meaningful discussions will save the day.....!! that is not my view.

They will have workshops throughout the country, and I have no doubt one of them will be at a place beginning with B, so you will be fine. :wink:

I did not say work shops, i said consultations every one in this trade is self employed and not ruled by a few pepole who think they no better then the ones who work in the trade, its time this trade took hold of what is going on before there is noting left.

we take pepole from A to B and that all we do always have, always will, its always the tarde, never the pepole we carry. The trade is bled dry. self employed but told what to do, what vehicles we can put on, were we have to have vehicles tested, what we can charge. you cant smoke, but when warlking though town walking passed pubs and cliubs the smell of smoke. i am all for sensible rules.

It just sems to me to be a little one sided.

Is this a photo of an NTA board meeting, a Unite the Union meeting, an NPHA board meeting, an NTTG board meeting, a TDO member's meeting, or just a meeting of random taxi drivers?

And is the elephant a regular attendee at these meetings, because elephants are a symbol of wisdom in Asian cultures and are famed for their memory and intelligence.
