London Taxis And The Olympic Route Network
EDM number 59 in 2012-13, proposed by John McDonnell on 14/05/2012.
That this House notes the inevitable pressures on London's transport network throughout the Olympic Games; further notes that the Olympic Route Network is an important component of transport plans for the Olympics; is dismayed at the decision not to allow taxi drivers to use the Olympic Route Network; believes such a decision will severely restrict the ability of taxi drivers to earn a living and will deny passengers the opportunity to use taxis; recognises the necessity of passengers being able to use the fastest and most direct routes; further believes that the road signage changes will undermine the Knowledge and so impact negatively on the experience of visitors to London during the Games; and calls for taxis to be given access to the Olympic Route Network for the duration of the Games with an exemption from the road signage changes.
This motion has been signed by a total of 18 MPs.
