no its happened here, unfortunatly self interest is forbiden by council rules and taxidrivers or those they back are restricted from voting!

Bit like Old Labour.

The People’s Independent Party promises to break the mould of local politics since, written into its constitution is a clause which commits each member to work solely for his or her own constituents—in other words, there will be no party whip telling putative councillors to toe the party line.

in that case it will do nothing and go nowhere!

how is it like old labour?

Absolute Bolderdash,this is one ousted councillor,looking to be re-elected on the whims of the taxi fraternity.
Get real Dundee,by all means fight,but this?

Golden Brown ex pop star and current politician.

The way that could help out the trade is if they all agree to help out just one particular party, of any colour.

That way they will p*** off a few, but the way they are going will p*** off the lot.

Oh, and get them hardly any votes.

Letters about WAVs and an allegation that a Dundee City Council employee is still hiring out a plate. Oh dear.

Wot, councils saying one thing, yet doing another?

Surely not.

guest who posted its already happened here,have you any more info, did it make any difference,is the party still going, i dont think the public will back us most dont trust us to get them from a to b without ripping them off,but at least the council have agreed to a meeting with the dta in sept which is a start....

SEPTEMBER OOOH,by that time friend David will have his 40 saloons and 10 TXs.
Bit late,do you not think.
Politics and Taxi-Drivers/Operators,should be interesting,oil and water,comes to mind.
Stop the two tier system,let there be all WAVS only,and let the place be flooded with cabs and the proper drivers will survive,the rest,well,could become drivers for the new fresh blood in the trade.
Get rid of the old and in with the new.
Get rid of the old grumps and see the new ones looking after the trades
customers,properly.
Old new plates,must have new WAVs,to be replaced every five years or less.
Smarten up the trade,uniformity all around,no smoking,swearing,picking their noses or arse.
Lets go.
High Ho Silver,Daves mate.
