@edinburghpaper A tick box exercise designed to fail while making it look like they're doing something. Why are Edinburgh Police still refusing to deal with private hire operating illegally @CC_Livingstone? One of many who wait outside Waverley. Note missing 'pre-booked hires only' stickers.

Something else might possibly maybe happen in 10 mins. But why not use that time to stop the private hire picking up from taxi rank in front of you then?

@policescotland @CC_Livingstone We've still not had response from you about Edinburgh police being briefed to not take any action against illegal operation of private hire vehicles? You're failing to do your duty, putting the public at risk, & your colleagues in embarrassing position. https://t.co/STlayUUeQ4

You're not replying to us Ash. Can yourself or Humza explain why @policescotland are still refusing to take any action to prevent illegal operation of
private hire vehicles? Our MP told us it's your responsibility, & police say they are being instructed not to take any action.

And that ladies and gentlemen, is our problem. We write emails and try and engage with @Edin_Licensing @Edinburgh_CC and others and THEY IGNORE US. Stop burying your heads in the sand and come up with suggestions of help for our trade. Not holding our breath though.

[Edinburgh Taxi Drivers @EdinTaxiDrivers]

Still no response from any of you. Are you going to do anything to tackle the problems you were made aware of?

@ashtenRD @snp Still no response from you regarding the problems you were made aware of months ago. Do you intend doing anything about the illegal operation of private hire vehicles in Edinburgh or not?

[Edinburgh Taxi Drivers @EdinTaxiDrivers]

@jggthe2nd @policescotland Police informed me they have been briefed to give zero tolerance to taxi drivers and that it had originated from council. They also said they had been given no instruction regarding private hire drivers, bus drivers, Balmoral drivers., or anyone else. Solely taxi drivers.

@ij110811 @policescotland Been down that route. It was a dead end with loads of artificial obstructions along the way.

[Edinburgh Cab Branch @branch_cab]

We in Edinburgh, echo the sentiments of our Glasgow colleagues. Big thanks to @ColinSmythMSP for raising our plight at FMQ's today. But we need the @scotgov to act swiftly and provide some much needed financial support for both taxi operators and drivers.

When asking the police to do something about private hire drivers operating illegally and you turn your head away, but leave the camera pointing the same way.
