TAXI and private hire car drivers gathered in Glasgow to challenge the second round of support grants offered by the Scottish Government to the industry. Meeting at the Springfield Quay before making their way along Paisley Road/Paisley Road West, members of the App Drivers and Couriers Union (ADCU) and the All Glasgow Hackney Union joined the go-slow convoy yesterday afternoon. The protest follows last week’s announcement that grants of £1500 would be awarded to drivers and up to £10,000 for operators, but many operators are receiving significantly less than this.
