TfL has launched a public consultation on ambitious plans to phase out petrol, diesel, and hybrid engines from newly-licensed private hire vehicles. 

Following a six-week public consultation on a May draft that gathered 30 responses, the committee backed the proposals as a recommendation for a final decision by full council.

The violence erupted after the driver politely asked passengers Drew Davidson, 26, and an unidentified man to add a second drop-off location using their booking app.

Officers from Merseyside Police’s roads policing unit pulled over a white Toyota on the night of Thursday 22 October.

A legal appeal has been served challenging Fife Council’s decision to grant Uber a booking office licence after hundreds of objections were rejected without being heard.

Drivers say they are regularly being moved away from taxi ranks and issued warnings for over-ranking, despite what they claim is insufficient designated space for local taxis.

Residents complain of nuisance parking and engines left running as calls grow for increased enforcement and a designated waiting area.

Ipswich Borough Council confirmed it stripped both individuals of their combined hackney carriage and private hire driver's licences following separate investigations into their driving conduct.
