We are asking for your support to raise £4,000 by the 8th May to produce a professionally edited & directed short film.

Over the past few years I have seen London's "Black Cab" trade that we all care passionately about being systemically dismantled by Transport for London and the Mayor of London who seemingly doesn't understand (or doesn't want to understand) the pressures that their policies, poor performance and attitude towards drivers has created.

Drivers earnings are plummeting much in the same way as the yellow cabs in New York City.

The reason for this is TfL & the Mayor are restricting taxi drivers access to certain thoroughfares, allowing exploitative competitors to undermine the employment and taxation laws while increasing the cost of the only licensable electric taxi in the market without providing adequate charging infrastructure - this is by no means where TfL and the Mayors poor performance stops as there are a plethora of policy issues that TfL & the Mayor are introducing that they knowingly will impact on the mental health of drivers and their families.

Sean Paul Day, London Taxi Radio, Matt Newell & Myself think that this cannot be right or fair in an all inclusive progressive society.

TfL simply cannot introduce policies that they knowingly will impact on the mental health of a taxi workforce who they heavily regulate, therefore we are going to raise awareness regarding TfL's and the Mayor of London's shocking attitude towards mental health.

Sean Paul Day in association with London Taxi Radio, myself & Matt Newell are asking for your support to raise £4,000 to produce a short film that will be directed by Hello Deer Productions and supported by the Mental Health Charity Silence of Suicide.

Should we fail to raise all of £4,000 needed to produce this film we will donate any money raised to London Taxi PR or UTAG.

Best wishes & thanks for your support.

Chris Johnson.
