QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Nov 6 2011, 10:45 AM) What the bloody héll is the rationalé for moving the taxi queue in the Market Place? The 'rationale' is that the Market Place is traffic free. New Rank in Cheap St/Market St somewhere, I think. Do you not tell your driver where to pick you up?

Do you not tell your driver where to pick you up? But it isn't traffic free at 19:00, and no, I like to walk to the 'rank'. What crap idea to move the rank!

QUOTE (NWNREADER @ Nov 6 2011, 04:01 PM) And I believe there was a consultation on the WBC website. OK, some don't have access to www, but what network of information should there be so everyone can say they had a chance to know what was coming? Maybe the taxi drivers could have mentioed it to their fares over the last month or so, they're not usually so reticent.

Why should the taxi rank be singled out for special WBC consideration? Just follow the normal WBC procedure .... taxpayers don't need to know!

Interesting to see what suggestions people have other than the local media and the www, which you have already mentioned.
