With the road works blocking one end of the street, and the usual student night in the Hawk & Hunter, and crowds on the pavement having a drag and the street packed to the gunnels with illegally ranking cabs, how long will it be before there is a disaster here?
If the Police close the street of at coming out time because of the potential hazard, why would there be no hazard if the coming out time was impromptu, brought forward by a fire?
If in such an emergency people flooded onto the pavement, how would the taxis get out to allow the fire tenders the access they would need to deal with it?
Sure, they ultimately would, but how much valuable time would be lost? How many unnecessary casualties would there be?
This is a disaster waiting to happen.
And if the council already knows about this - a wee birdie tells me it does - and have failed to address it, won't the fault lie at its door?
BTW
Why should cabbies properly ranked on the Mood rank have to sit and watch their worked being stolen from under their noses by this illegal ranking?
