The C.A.B action group will resume action in the coming weeks to protest about the continued corruption and improper action by the Mayor and TFL, in particular in relation to the London Taxi Age Limit.
The recently published Defra report clearly demonstrates that the taxi age limit is improper and did absolutely nothing to reduce pollution as it was claimed it would.
Thousands of drivers and operators have been forced to scrap perfectly good taxis at great expense for no proper purpose. The ONLY purpose was to allow Tory MP Tim Yeo to sell his new Mercedes Taxis and earn a profit from a business which would have otherwise failed.
The recent Sunday Times exposure of Tim Yeo clearly shows that corrupt and improper conduct has taken place.
In the undercover film Tim Yeo bragged that he could shape policy (which is what he did with the London Taxi Age Limit) and that he had contact with all the key players (in this case that presumably means his buddy Boris who implemented the Taxi Age Limit for him).
Absolutely no action has been taken by the Mayor or TFL in relation to the Defra report or the exposure of Tim Yeo.
Complaints about the continued improper conduct have been ignored by the Mayor and TFL.
The C.A.B protests will resume in London and continue until the Government takes action (it is clear that the Mayor is accountable to no one so this is the only appropriate action to call for).
C.A.B will call for;
· Immediate and urgent action by the Government to stop the continuation of the improper and unlawful London Taxi Age Limit.
