The judging panel base its decisions upon areas such as service excellence, quality of service provided, value, and consistency of performance. The panel was sufficiently impressed by NEAT to select the company as winner of the London and South East Prestige Awards for The Airport Transfer Specialist of the Year. Robert Elliott, Company Director, told PHTM: “This award would not have
been possible without the support from our professional, dedicated team and wonderful, loyal customers. “It was a great honour to receive the award and entirely unexpected. “We feel very proud that after only two years as an established limited company our work as been recognised in this way.”
COMMUNITY-MINDED TAXI DRIVER REPAIRS ‘DANGEROUS’ DENBIGHSHIRE PAVEMENT
A community that fears someone could be killed after a footpath fell into dis- repair has taken matters into its own hands. The path along the A525 at Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd, Denbighshire, is so overgrown and narrow, walkers have said they feel “vulnerable”. Taxi driver Jozsef Vass has been weed- ing the path himself, despite being warned of the risks. Denbighshire council said it was going to “deal with” the pavement and advised Mr Vass not to do the work as he would be liable for any damage or injury as a result of his efforts. Mr Vass, 44, from Ruthin, has spent his free time clearing the pathway to improve safety. The father-of-four has been charting his progress online as he digs out the weeds and debris along a one-mile stretch of the pavement for a few hours each week.
“I’m only half way, but [I’ve done] the hardest part,” he said. “There’s a dip
32
here and the pavement filled up even more to 60 or 70cm high which I had to shovel up.” Asked if what he was doing was legal, he said: “It’s a grey area; it’s all on my own risk. When people asked me if they could join in I told them not to.” He said the council had a long list of priorities, so understood why they had not yet cleared the path. “The council would have to close one lane, bring machines and it’s a big pro- ject, but for me life is still going on and I can do the rest of the job,” he said. Other Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd residents say that while they are grateful for his
efforts, many felt fixing the path was the council’s responsibility. Chris Rawes said: “Every day I walk down the pavement and it is literally a foot path - in places it’s only a foot wide. When you’ve got trucks and buses and traffic and commuters going past you at 60mph or even quicker, it is really, really dangerous and you feel so exposed.” He said residents and the community council had been asking the local authority to address the problem for several years. “We hear all about active travel, people should be out walking more, cycling more, we’ve got a footpath here for them to use but there’s no space here for them so they’re getting back in their cars to drive into town.” A Denbighshire council spokesman said: “Work will take place to deal with the overgrown parts of the footway. “We aim to deliver this work within the next six weeks with traffic manage- ment in place during the work.”
