Taxi representatives discuss Lewes protest

Since pulling into Brighton Uber drivers and those looking to get licensed with the app based taxi company have been have found it to be cheaper and far easier to get licensed just around the corner in Lewes.

And the already established services in the city say this is simply not safe.

To demonstrate their opinions taxi drivers from Brighton protested in Lewes and brought the town to a standstill.

Matthew Enderby spoke with John Streeter and George Beresford about the ongoing battle between Uber and the city’s taxis.
