I have total understanding for your frustration and would most likely have done the same, as it drives one insane to see how certain groups act as though they are a law unto themselves.
He will never forget this hopefully and it is only right that he company is informed and he is reprimanded. If companies like this want to operate within a community , they need to give very clear instructions to their staff /employees that they have to abide by a certain code of conduct , or face a fine and consequences. That can be a company policy , as they are working against the community order and not with it. They have no respect where they park and I often find these taxis on the corner of Herschell and Station Roads, where if you want to turn, right or left, you simply have to drive towards the centre of the road to see , what is oncoming , which puts you and your car at risk. Can this problem please also be addressed. Not sure who deals with that. These guys love to stand there at all times of the day so easy to track them down.

To whom it may concern I have attached a few pics snapped just after the encounter I had in Arnold Street moments ago. A Taxi driver presumably had just dropped of a couple of girls who were standing in-front of a house not far away. As he was about to return to his vehicle he casually threw down a niknaks packet and kicked it under the car. I stopped my car and asked him what he thought he was doing to which he responded that he would pick it up and got into his taxi and closed the door as if to drive away. I approached the car to pick up the packet myself and he began shouting at me to get away. I am ashamed to say at this point I lost my temper and swore at him. I said "You are making a f***in mess of Observatory" and then immediately apologised to the driver for what I had said. I include this detail as I am sure it will come up if the diver is ever questioned about this incident. After I had picked up the chip packet he reversed rapidly away. This may seem like a petty incident, and I admit that I have a personal issue with litterers, but it really is an act of blatant disrespect for the area as a whole, and to the tireless efforts of the Obsid cleaners who must pick up after lazy litterbugs like this. Littering is also a CRIME! A dirty area attracts a dirty element. I hope Obsid will take this forward somehow and at least caution the driver in question. Who is the correct person to forward this information to?
