An issue that affects cabbies...An Appeal For a Your Help.

The London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham (LBHF) is trying to impose a
blanket 20mph limit on all of its roads. 55% were opposed to the proposal in
a recent consultation - not least as the road safety case is hyped and
pathetically poor (see http://ift.tt/1NvJuQS).

I have been speaking to several drivers in LBHF (taxi- and mini-cab,
delivery firms etc). They are concerned that:
* They will be restricted to an unreasonably low speed, especially on main
roads
* They stand to be fined or even banned for doing a reasonable speed
* Their vehicles might be damaged by speed bumps etc.

I am organising a campaign to make LBHF see sense. The council has been
known to back down after sustained complaints, but we need to act before 11
January.

There is a facility to send an email message on
http://ift.tt/1RwAu1B well as a copy of the
attached leaflet (PDF attached).   

I (and many others) would be grateful, please, if your colleagues could: 
* Send an email message to LBHF and/or
* Pass on this link or attached file to their contacts.

Many thanks for your help,
