Taxi drivers set for lunchtime protest in Shrewsbury

Up to 100 taxi drivers were due to take part in a two-hour demonstration in Shrewsbury today over plans for a shake-up of the black cab service in Shropshire.

Shrewsbury Drivers Action Group had initially planned to stage an all day picket at the Shirehall but claimed that due to massive public support, it had decided on a shorter protest to avoid customer disruption.

Members say they are outraged at Shropshire Council’s proposals to de-zone the county’s taxi structure.

Today’s picket was expected to run from midday until 2pm.

It follows a protest in Shrewsbury on January 28 when about 100 taxi drivers took part in a rolling roadblock.
