Taxis take over town
Night-time Wolverhampton has become Dodge (the bullets) City. Merryhell's Waterfront has blocked off all the sensible people who wanted to go there in their cars by putting a barrier across the entrance, thus ensuring the drunks who arrive in taxis can be dropped off right at the pub door.
Stourbridge used to be a welcome alternative with Chicago's and Lloyds door staff keeping the drunken yobs out.
While the police are out in force ticketing the odd car that parks on the yellows or in a loading bay (that aren't used at night anyway) they seem to turn a blind eye to the 30 white cabs that park half on the pavement and half on the road, blocking the street up and causing people to walk in the road.
Perhaps some new form of diplomatic immunity is granted to white taxis by Stourbridge Council?
