gondola. Perhaps Mr Jones would care to elaborate. Moreover, do such skeletons infer that there are other cases of reinstatement of licences when clearly the facts suggested a decision to the contrary would have been more appropriate

Well are there any other taxi drivers convicted of similar offences still plying their trade as taxi drivers

if so lets name names sureley thats not libel if it's a fact. Answers would be very welcome, as my lady wife uses them in the early hours, I could then make alternative arrangements.

I have requested that the Accrington Observer asks for information on taxi drivers that are licensed, despite a conviction of a sexual nature, from all East Lancashire Councils, under the freedom of information act: -

Nice one suz can u put your petition on here if people should wish to sign it for you??

accymel · 23-03-2007, 15:13

Blimey i just read some of the comments on there - quite strong views on both sides tho i feel that if you are in a postion of trust then u should be of law abiding standard!! This guy was found guilty by the law so there must of been strong evidence to suggest so despite that there are a few ridiculous defence comments

Hi AccyMel,

Maybe it's something the admins at Accyweb can set up and we can do a joint submission of the petitions to the Department for Transport (and maybe the Commons via Greg Pope/Jack Straw) on 1st July?

I'm certain that the Department for Transport would issue guidance if they were aware of this farcical situation.

Interestingly, and reassuringly, transport authorities (County Council's etc), who buy in the education transport taking children to schools using taxi's, INSIST that each taxi/private hire driver completes an additional CRB with them before letting them transport children! Is this because they don't trust the decisions of the taxi licensing authorities - you bet it is!!!!

True point Suz

thought it would be easier as u cant click the web addy u put up, im sure a petition of this nature is ok to post the web addy

Hi AccyMel,

It may be best to start your own as it will save Accyweb members having to register on my site to sign the petition. I didn't want to switch on guest posting as it will devalue the petition as it would be open to flooding

At least his face will be plastered over the front page of my website until at least July - this isn't going away until the public receive some reassurance - on a County and then national basis!!

It's a pity we don't have a photo of the other guy so at least we could avoid him instead of everyone at CB suffering by being avoided.

Suzster,

The process to which your refer, for purposes of soliciting information, is not as straightforward as you suggest.

I attach a link for below for those not remotely expert on this issue. This serves as an overview, but in itself is not entirely comprehensive
