How many of you can remember the Itchen Bridge in Southampton being constructed ?

There was a man in a small dingy, who rowed from one side of the Itchen River to the other, collecting bits and pieces that used to fall from the bridge when it was being built !!

Does anybody know how much the bridge toll was when it first opened in 1977?

Hopefully these brighter lights will make it safer for drivers and pedestrians crossing the bridge, particularly during the winter months.

Our white taxis are easily recognised around Southampton City - look for the white sign on the roof, and the red Hackney Carriage licence plate on the back.

Our member taxi drivers provide taxis for all kinds of journeys including the famous London Taxis, multi seater (MPV's) with disabled access which can take up to 7 people, luxury saloons and efficient hybrid Taxi cars.

Visit the Medieval Merchants Tudor House in Bugle Street Southampton, one of our many historic places of interest - well worth a visit - then perhaps take a stroll around The Old Walls of Southampton.

The SHA supports the UK Cruise Port Alliance in their determination to stop Liverpool City Council, who were funded by the European Union and the UK taxpayer.  On the strict condition that it must not operate turn around cruises, which could unfairly tase business from the UK'S privately funded cruise ports, such as Southampton.

Liverpool City Council  is applying to have this condition removed which could mean ships leaving Liverpool instead of Southampton - costng an estimated £2M loss for every ship that does not come to our Port.

This would affect not only our taxi trade in Southampton but local businesses and suppliers across The Solent Area.

We suggest you sign the local UK port alliance petition at www.facebook.com/ukcpa or on their petition website.

Please contact the Southampton Hackney Association if you need more information - call the office on (023) 8068 2561.

OR

Sign one of the petition forms from one of our SHA representatives. Distribute amongst the taxi trade and ask your customers to sign also!!

We are very pleased to launch our new website designed  and developed by Focal Strategy based in Hythe, nr Southampton, Hampshire.
