Well, why would anyone expect the LTDA to support a scheme that takes away one direction of travel for their drivers on a route that taxi drivers use a lot? Or why would anyone think that the agreement on the wording of mutual responsibilities means that the LCC and the LTDA have to work together on everything? If I was the LTDA, I'd say exactly the same.
(Before you have a go, I'm not taking the side of the LTDA, quite the opposite (I think the scheme is far too timid, and that the whole area needs to be modally filtered, with two-way travel on all streets, i.e. I'd filter through motor traffic in both directions), but I think accusing them of 'playing games' here is well wide of the mark.)
