Here is a full reply to the statement put out by Steve McNamara on Taxi Point 5/6/20
Welcome to LtdaCaptured.com
Who are we:
We are a group of taxi drivers who are members of the Licensed Taxi Drivers Association. (LTDA)
Who are the Licensed Taxi Drivers Association:
The LTDA are the biggest single taxi driver association in the UK with over 10,000 members.
The LTDA is registered with the FCA as a Co-operative society which should be controlled by the members to constitute a bona-fide Co-op, but we believe the society has been captured by Council of Management (COM).
Our aim:
We believe that the Council of Management have entrenched their position by changing the Association’s rules without proper process leaving them unaccountable to the members. By satisfying the required number of signatories to call for the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to call a special meeting (Sec 106), our proposal is to remove the current COM and replace them with an interim COM who would be carefully selected acting on professional advice. This would be to restructure the LTDA and ensure that the Association could never be captured again as it has been.
All voting mechanisms being proposed by us, are within the current framework of the Association rules.
Goals:
Through this website, we will provide details to support our claims with full documentation showing what we argue is the capture of the LTDA including rules changes that entrench the COM's position, serious issues around the finances of our Association, potential fraud and a refusal by the current COM to answer questions about LTDA Enterprises, pensions, wages and the sale of Taxi House, our largest asset.
We encourage all members of the LTDA to join us by subscribing to our website and to join us in calling on the FCA to assist the membership in handing back the LTDA to its members.
Below, our lawyers Anthony Collins, a leading co-operative specialist, have issued the following unprecedented statement.
We thank you for your time.

On June 4th 2010, Some members of the current Com, agreed and signed off a rule amendment, that removed the power away from the membership and put firmly into the hands of the Com. This reenforces our accusations of Capture built up over a number of years. Our lawyers have requested documentation from the Ltda and have been ignored. Here’s another example of how the Com cannot be trusted with the rules.

We will be making available the documents we have for all LTDA members to read here. We urge ALL LTDA Members to read them.
