Cabbies Day – 3 July

The annual Cabbies day outing saw over 100 cabs from East London visiting Maldon and enjoying the facilities of Promenade Park. A cab driver who attended took the time to email and say:- 

‘I visited Maldon yesterday and would like to tell the Council what a great reception we all received. Everyone was so welcoming. The Plume school provided the most for the children not only the food but the time and the smiles. Thank you to all to the Cab drivers and the people of Maldon who were so wonderful!’
