An attempt to stamp out competition for local taxi drivers' & the council's nice little earner? https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/council-chiefs-clamp-down-on-ubers-in-stratford-town-centre/ |

Most of Coventry's Uber (or whatever) drivers are actually licenced in Wolverhampton! Central government stopped local councils from protecting their own. Personally speaking, I'd never use an Uber. |

Stradford's taxis have been overpriced for decades (the council made us do it, the taxi drivers cry). Stratford won't be able to get rid of UBER, and has become a victim of its complacency (same with tourism). |

Ubers and the like are causing real issues for local Taxi drivers. They just can't compete with them. But once they're gone, watch the prices rise! |
