Yes they have done something wrong. They are putting passengers at risk by employing this this this person.

Would you blame the school or the teacher if you found out your children were being taught by someone like that???

Re: Are You Safe In His Taxi
 

if they didnt know about his dirty deeds, then no they are not to blame but if they did and still employed him then the answer would be yes!

Re: Are You Safe In His Taxi
 

The people at fault here are the Licensing Committee that made this unbelievable decision, if you feel strongly enough about it let them know by e mail etc, good on you Councillor Clare Prichard for going on record. Any taxi firm stupid enough to employ this driver is committing commercial suicide, as Accrington is the worst place in the world to try to keep a secret.

Re: Are You Safe In His Taxi
 

An absolute disgrace.

Well done to Cllr. Clare Pritchard, and whovever the mole was who leaked the story to the press, thus letting the public know the facts.

The other councillors should hang their heads in shame, and I hope they sleep easily knowing their actions have put other girls/women at risk.

Re: Are You Safe In His Taxi
 

you wouldnt happen to have the e-mail address would you Iantow?;)

Re: Are You Safe In His Taxi
 

I wonder if he has also disclosed his Criminal Conviction to his Taxi Insurers.

Re: Are You Safe In His Taxi
 

In London there are a great number of reported attacks by unlicenced cabs which wait outside clubs. Women have been attacked, kidnapped, raped, and murdered, and it's a real problem.

However, here in Hynburn we now have a licenced taxi driver who is a convicted sex offender.

Frightening to think that a lot of these councillors from the licencing committee will also be school governors. Would these idiots also allow someone like this to carry on working if he was employed by a school?

Sadly Soham springs to mind, and the names Jessica and Holly.:mad:

pedophiles driving school buses - coming to a hyndburn school near you soon

Re: Are You Safe In His Taxi
 

cashy;) Councillors addresses contact numbers etc are posted on the notice board outside and inside the Town Hall, then there is always the good old directory, or the information desk in the library.;)

Re: Are You Safe In His Taxi
 

Cashy this is the e-mail adress of one of the main licensing officers [email protected]

Re: Are You Safe In His Taxi
 

This is absolutely disgusting - could not believe it when I read this story. The licencing committee are at fault for giving him his licence as are the firm who are employing him, if they have any shred of decency they should sack him now!

Re: Are You Safe In His Taxi
 

If you feel strongly about this, there are a number of people to write to


The Chief Exec of HBC is David Welsby - suggest you contact him

You could also email your MP, Greg Pope and let him know.

I would also suggest a letter of support to Cllr Clare Pritchard so that she has acknowledgment of everyone's support.

Re: Are You Safe In His Taxi
