London Luton Airport Taxi Rank should be marked by Luton Borough Council.!

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

The Luton Hackney Carriage trade will be severely affected and it is the duty of the Luton Borough Council to provide work for the taxis which they themselves have issued over the years while doing so many on demand surveys by charging taxi drivers for the fees.
Over 500 families will be affected by loss of the Airport Contract to Addison Lee.

Give us the right to have different type of vehicles for taxi trade in Luton, not just 100% wheelchair accessible to compete with national taxi trade and against upcoming mix fleet companies like Uber and Addison Lee.
