TAXI drivers across Newport gathered to hold a “go-slow” protest in the city yesterday. Hackney cab drivers are angry at the lack of ranks available to them in the city, and Unite, the union representing them, says their “complaints have fallen on deaf ears.” As a result of their frustration with the council, drivers organised a protest taking them from Newport Railway Station, along the Kingsway to Friars Walk, back up to Queensway, and then around the Civic Centre. And Unite warned that if a resolution to their concerns cannot be found in the next few weeks “they will want to express their frustrations again”.
