A Leeds taxi driver has been out of work for almost one year after Leeds City Council revoked his taxi license.
Abid, who is a Leeds Taxi and Private Hire Organisation (LPHDO) driver, says he had his licence revoked by Leeds Council in July 2021 after a small dispute with a customer over the placing of his metre reader.
The suspension came under the Suitability and Convictions policy which came into place in February 2020. It is alleged the new policy can see taxi drivers suspended for minor issues like a small argument which could result in them losing their licence.
