Cabbies help Londoners sound off on cuts

updated on 19 May 2011

As part of the Sound Off For Justice campaign - backed by an array of public figures and MPs including deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman, Michael Mansfield QC, Joanna Lumley and Jenny Éclair - three London black cabs have been transformed into mobile 'sound-off' booths in which residents of the capital can speak out against the government's plans to cut legal aid. The cabs have been equipped with Apple iPads and iPhones, enabling supporters to sign the campaign's online petition or join its voicemail protest.

Law Society president Linda Lee said: "The taxis are a great way of allowing members of the public to join our campaign and to express their views on the planned cuts. Many people have told me of the difference that legal aid made to their lives and I hope they will share their experiences."

To find out the current location of the cabs, follow the @soundoffjustice profile on Twitter. To support the campaign, visit Sound Off For Justice.
