The RMT London Taxi branch is awaiting a reply from TFL and Westminster City Councils Parliamentary agent regarding Clause 19 and the progress of this bill.
Please note only the RMT have opposed this bill and only the RMT seek to stop the creation of pedicab ranks which will no doubt lead to private hire ranks/bays all over the capital.

RMT "No to 19" "No to 19" refers to the clause contained in the LLA & TFL (no.2) Bill which seeks to create pedicab/rickshaw ranks/bays on the public highway...

Still no date...
We still have no date for the 3rd reading of this bill and therefore claims by others within the taxi trade relating to "leading" on issues such has "clause 19" are mere fantasy.
When or can we say if the bill is read for a 3rd time in the Lords this will trigger a period of ten days where ALL trade unions/orgs can petition if they wish against "clause 19" which will create waiting ares/ranks for pedicabs.
The logic here at the RMT London taxi branch is simple pedicabs are a dangerous method/mode of transporting people in cities these objects should be confined to the parks and have no place or part to play in a city like London...
