All Licensed Taxi Drivers to get Grants from Councils regardless their postcode.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

During this pandemic we Private Hire Drivers and Taxi drivers have suffered and has affected all our lives including our familys.

We risked our lives and worked through the pandemic and had majority key workers travelling to work through this aswell as public going to hospitals and appoinments.
We have worked and had to manage overheads regardless 80% drop in earnings such as Licensing Fees, Fuel, repair, motor insurance and many more.

This now feels discriminated and also that we are being neglected by everyone for our hard work and commitment.

Please raise this concern in Parliament and support our issues as we feel we are being neglected and not being appreciated for our hard work and commitments.
