Minicab drivers' protest shuts down Tower Bridge
Sam Tobin reports from central London

MINICAB drivers shut down Tower Bridge today demanding that Transport for London (TfL) reverse its decision to lift the congestion charge exemption on private hire drivers.
Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) members protested outside City Hall, calling for TfL to recognise the union and make respect for workers’ rights a condition of licences for the likes of Uber and Addison Lee, before briefly blockading the bridge.
