UK: Taxi drivers to protest in Crawley over private hire bookings at Gatwick Airport May 24
Taxi drivers to protest in Crawley, UK, over regulations at Gatwick Airport, May 24; reduced private hire availability likely.
Unionized taxi drivers will protest at the Create Building, Crawley, from 18:30 May 24. Organizers will object to ride-hailing application drivers' access to passengers at Gatwick Airport (LGW). The protest will target a meeting of Crawley town council, which administers local taxi regulations. It is not known how many will take part.
The protest will likely reduce the availability of private hire vehicles at LGW through the evening of May 24. Heightened security and localized ground transport disruptions are likely around the site of the protest.
Check all private hire boolings to and from LGW, May 24. Avoid the protest location in Crawley. Consider taking alternative routes to circumvent any related disruptions.
