Today is the Bus Lane protest

Advance Notice We have been informed by the Manchester private hire asssociation that-
On 16/5/2012 Today starting at 11am hopefully 500/1000 private hire vehicles will set off in convoy from car park 2 at Manchester City football club to  Manchester Town hall.
They will hand in their petition “why private hire should be allowed in Greater Manchester  bus lanes” , we want to have a level playing field as Hackney cabs and buses and also stop the blatant discrimination against our elderly and disabled customers who cannot get dropped off/picked up when at a point which runs along the 254 miles of bus lanes in Greater Manchester . All other customers also have to pay more when stuck in traffic whilst bus lanes are free often missing doctor appointments, job interviews, chiropodist and optician appointments putting extra expense and waisting resources on missed NHS appointments.
Manchester city football club has kindly given  permission for us to start our convoy from their ground, we hope you can cover this story to highlight the blatant discrimination that exists in this council.
Regards

Dereck Brocklehurst
