All-female 'taxi' service fights for survival
An all-female "taxi" service is fighting for survival due to proposed changes in the law. Pink Ladies is a members-only club with female drivers and passengers who use top-up cards rather than cash to pay for their trips in an effort to provide women with a secure form of transport. Started last year in Warrington and operating in a number of towns, the service is under threat from proposed changes to a section of the Local Government Act under which the company operates. Pink Ladies' founders are now working with politicians to find a solution to the problem over licensing.
They certainly won't find a solution in the 1976 act. But then again they don't know the extent of the law in respect of Taxis and private hire vehicles so it's understandable that they will try every avenue, or should that be cul-de-sac?
It doesn't matter one iota what politicians come up with because the law is now set in stone and it is the judiciary who are now the guardians of section 75. Unless of course the Government bring in new legislation to accommodate the activities of the likes of Pink Ladies.
