This may sound sad but David Myles and I sat outside for 45 minutes and 50 cars went passed. Half were taxis and the other half drivers who had the look on the faces that they knew exactly what they were doing and didn't give a ****. Which makes it worse. Because they dont look for pedestrians, they are looking for anyone watching them, police etc.. and they try and get thru as quick as poss, so not to get caught. Taxi drivers are a mixed bag of either the same or blatent slow arrogance.

The taxi assocaition leader has a weekly audieice at the palace of the almightly one and refuses to accept that taxis are not public transport it all gets confusing. The Police STILL cant explain why they dont enforce. That is the best solution.

Th eproblem with buses is 1. Eagle St, Paradise St, Church St route will cause chaos, as it did previously when they had to use that route temporarily. 2. modern low floor/axel buses can't easily turn and make gradient up eagle st

Someone will get killed. Especially as Kevin Cosgrove has planning permission for a large all day drinking pub in the building opposite that is the length of it nearly. Blockbusters are the only firm allowed to continue their tenancy. And the 2nd floor a restaurant.

PB's problem is it is out of his control. Highways are LCC and HBC has no brass anyway. County want to put an electronic barrier with lights. Triggered by a pass attached to the fornt of the vehicle.

Still PB should do 2 things. 1 TELL the police to enforce. Wonder why he wont possible due to reason 2. -2. Tell the taxi drivers they cant instead of cosy weekly chats to make sure taxi drivers are as accomodated as possible by the Conservatives!
