While I agree with touting being wrong...black cabs just as guilty of not following the rules....ie- Flooding and over flowing the designated ranks, which is especially bad down at the railway station on races days.........and a recent newspaper article highlighting black cabs parking in disabled bays in that area too and refusing to move for disabled drivers.........so its bad on both sides of the fence....
@richandnik Actually there are NO disabled bays in that area just chevrons to separate the spaces. The problem with over flowing on ranks is only going to get worse. The council keep on licensing cabs but they have nowhere to go. The only answer is to create lots more Hackney Ranks.
@Iabrat Actually you will find that a Hackney Driver did indeed move to let someone park, unlike the hoards of private hire cars that completely fill the whole disabled car park in Frodsham St on a daily basis.
Going back to the nearest Taxi Rank would be fine if the people who are employed to enforce parking did the job they are supposed to be doing and kept the ranks clear........ Seems like everyone who works for the council in this city just turn up to collect their wages.
anybody can see the drivers are waiting for a kebab after a hard nights work!!!!!!!!!!!! not sitting on the station sorry i ment disabled bays like the hacks do
Its the same with every council, denbighshire is just as bad- useless.
Maybe all the drivers over the country should get together and take all the councils to court because it seems they are all the same.

@Taxichester
Although their are no disabled bays,
YOU would think that a HACKNEY TAXI DRIVER would give consideration to a women with a disabled or elderly person' and give up the space.
Oh and by the way When your parked in those PUBLIC BAYS you are meant to turn your FOR HIRE lights OFF!.....
also you are supposed to go back to the nearest available TAXI RANK when you drop customers off
NOT park up on the local estates Plying for hire POT,KETTLE,BLACK..........
