Taxi Driver Online

Senior Edinburgh city councillors routinely use taxis at the public's expense to travel between their homes and the City Chambers.
Figures obtained by the Evening News show that in the space of a year, seven senior councillors made a total of 488 trips between their home and work at a cost of more than £3500 to the public purse. Evening News 13/3/06

Isn't that Anderson mush in the running for MP/MSP?

And yes that mush Anderson is running to be an MSP. This man thought my suspension was justified but would not comment on Daniel Wencker jail sentence. Restaurateur extraordinaire is only the half of it.

Backhander or what?

So, you think Donald Anderson is corrupt?

Would this go some way to describe the apparent difficulty that Mr Anderson, and his erstwhile sidekick Jim Inch, Corporate Services Director, have in coming up with an explanation why they have failed to charge the Cabtivate advertising system any fees to advertise in taxis in Edinburgh?

Bearing in mind that the screen based Cabtivate system plays a continuous stream of adverts, when we enquired about fees, we were given a response which showed a minute that a £5 fee would be charged. This raises two questions.

Why is the fee so ridiculously small?

Where is the evidence that it has ever actually been charged at all?

Of course we all remember how Cabtivate's proprieter used the influence of his pals on the council to get his system in without any Health and Safety checks. No consideration for the welfare of the driver, nor the passenegers which is supposed to be the council's statutory duty.

We also remember how the system was sweetened by the council being given free space to use on it.

And we already know the vested interest wee coven which operates within our council.

When the council has answers, they come quick as you like. When they don't, and have to manufacture them, they drag their feet.

And, they're dragging their feet here.
