Dear Sir, It has become apparent that Taxi drivers are using the former Taxi rank near the Roundhouse pub illegally. As a fast food driver who regularly needs access to this back street near the Thames Centre, I notice shocking and inconsiderate parking I’ve had several near misses from taxi drivers who park on the double yellow lines directly outside this pub and it creates a major hazard for other motorists coming from Stephenson Way turning right to find a Taxi parked directly in front of them. They show total disregard for people pulling in behind the Thames Centre as they often park two abreast and block off the entire road, yet they think they are perfectly entitled to take up the whole road as Taxi Drivers. It is only a matter of time before there is an accident. They are parking and touting for business illegally, showing blatant disregard for other people’s safety and other road users and should be in the official taxi rank on Greenwell Road. How on earth the Police haven’t picked up on this and issued fines is beyond me, but it needs to be stopped before something serious does happen. Name & address supplied
