John Mason to visit Feeder Park


John Mason, Director of Taxis and Private Hire (T&PH), has agreed to a question and answer session in the Feeder Park canteen on Friday 15 October, 2010, between 10am and 12:30pm This is a chance for ALL drivers to ask questions, and an opportunity for us to find out, first hand, what the Director of Taxis views are regarding some of the more pressing issues at Heathrow.


No doubt, the M4 bus lane will be a topic that many will want answers to, but Mr. Mason may not be able to give us any reassurance as this is a subject that is beyond his control. The decision to scrap the bus lane is one that was made at Cabinet level, and so we will have to be satisfied with more relevant subjects such as fixed prices, emissions policy, age limits on taxis, etc.


The RMT thanks Mr. Mason for accepting the invitation by Eddie Symes of HATDU to speak with us at Heathrow. This will be the first time the head of the carriage office (T&PH) has done this. Mr. Mason will face tough questions from drivers, but I hope we can offer him a courteous welcome.
