Cllr Hussain told Bedfordshire Live: "I had the immense pleasure of delivering on a manifesto pledge of a Hackney Carriage rank at Luton Airport albeit in a temporary location in the drop off zone until the proper rank is constructed."This is excellent news for local drivers who can finally work from Luton Airport again while removing polluting old vehicles from our town.
This story is all spin and bull. When the contract was first awarded the local taxi drivers were banned from the airport as it was all about money. After a year of no taxis due to a disagreement over fees due to Covid LLAOL offered space in the drop off zone as long as the local drivers pay a barrier fee plus a yearly rental which is a 4 figure sum per car. Now the council is claiming the glory when they didn’t give a monkey’s or offer any support.
