The RMT specialist transport union deposited its petition against part 4 clause 17 of the London Local Authorities and Transport for London (no.2) Bill. Please note after the opposed bill hearing in the Lords the bill was amended and therefore the clause is now 17 and not 19.
James Croy Political Officer/agent for the RMT along with John Kennedy RMT London taxi branch activist have worked on this issue over the last few weeks/months and in John's case years. Please do log onto the parliamentary website where you can see who petitioned against part 4 clause 17 and the creation of pedicab ranks and bays. Click on the link http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2010-11/londonlocalauthoritiesandtransportforlondonno2hl/documents.html to see our comprehensive petition. We should all note a lot more hard work is required and our campaign to remove unsafe/dangerous transport from the public highway is only just about to begin.
If you didn't petition you don't get a chance to speak before a parliamentary committee.
