Many of my colleagues are most concerned about the traffic improvement programme being carried out at Worthing central station.

The re-siting of the Hackney carriage rank at the station will mean passengers who arrive with luggage will need to walk, possibly in rain, many yards to the first taxi.

This taxi will then have to pull off into oncoming traffic, as the rank is to be based on the right-hand side of the road - a most difficult and dangerous manoeuvre.

Passengers boarding this taxi will also be opening doors and standing in the road in front of oncoming vehicles.

Additionally, it is not clear if there is to be a dropping-off point and where the bus stop for the station is to be.

There should be a meeting, preferably on site, between the parties concerned, namely the planning department who designed this scheme, the police and myself, as a representative of concerned Hackney carriage drivers.
