A Report From The GMB PDB National Organiser

A sad tale indeed, unfortunately our members in the area report that the Police are NOT responding to calls of assistance from Drivers under attack by these youths.Evidently the attacks on cabs is ongoing, on Saturday night one of our members Cabs came under sustained attack from many drunk youths, resulting in considerable damage to the vehicle fortunately SHE was un-injured but very shaken up.We will be visiting the area very shortly, and arranging meetings with the relevant authorities. Evidently drunken youths causing havoc is not unusual, and now they attack Cab Drivers despite the Police stating quite clearly that no cab Driver was involved in this tragic incident, except in stopping to administer first aid and calling the emergency services. Hopefully the message will reach the youths attacking Cabs, and just maybe the Police will start to respond to emergency calls from Cab Drivers, indeed they hope so!
