After an emotive meeting with members today, their final position is clear. Cardiff Central rank is essential for the public & providing a living wage for drivers. The rationale given is inconsistent and concerning. The rank must remain unaltered. Our members will not be moved.

How is this acceptable? @MayorofLondon


Another donation was made today for #foodbanks from the Taxi & PH community, this time it was given to @CardiffFoodbank. Thanks to @huwthomas_Wales @normam123 and @2000jama for being present to hand the check over.

Today, workers from the #Cardiff taxi trade handed over a huge donation to the @CardiffFoodbank. An incredibly kind gesture from a group of workers, who, despite seeing their incomes plummet during the pandemic, felt the need to help the most vulnerable people in our society.

We are really proud of everyone involved in this initiative, hopefully it won’t be the last. Thank you

Can everyone show solidarity & support our Scottish comrades with their petition. We need reps to share this with all members to show we are all United and their fight is our fight. It only takes 2 minutes to sign. Plenty of drivers out there who can help. #Unityandsolidarity

We've got a new petition lodged on the Scottish Parliament website. This remains open for signing until 24 March. Then it goes to the new Public Petistions commitee. Signatures on our earlier petition will be added to this. You know what to do.... external.parliament.scot/GettingInvolve…



Thank you @voice_wales for a brilliant article, we really appreciate you coming down to @alikhlascec, we would like to thank the centre for providing food to those going through difficult times. #foodbanks @UniteWales @2000jama voice.wales/cardiffs-taxi-…

Amazing achievement from Cardiff taxi & PH drivers raising over 10k even with the financial struggle COVID19 had on their trade. Still caring for local’s that are suffering from food poverty due to this pandemic. All donations will be made to food-bank organisations in Cardiff.
