Taxi drivers from Coventry are to travel to Wolverhampton today to "step up their protest against the council's continuing insistence to issue licences to Uber drivers" said a union.

Alan Lewis, regional officer for Unite in Coventry said almost 10,000 licences have been issued by the neighbouring local authority, some of whom "regularly" work in Coventry.

"There is no work for Uber drivers in Wolverhampton, in fact their own private hire drivers are complaining" he said, "so these other drivers are going all around the West Midlands looking for work".

"There are a large number of Uber drivers that live in Coventry that operate with a Wolverhampton licence" he said, "I'm not even sure they'd know where Wolverhampton was."

Councillor Alan Bolshaw from the City of Wolverhampton Council called the protest "irresponsible and potentially dangerous," and that the authority was "powerless to change" its policy, following changes to national legislation.

The firm says the factory, which will build cabs to go on its machines, will open in 2019.
