		</div><p>Uber has launched an appeal against Transport for London’s (TfL) decision to refuse to renew its operating licence in the English capital over safety concerns.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>The ride-hailing app firm’s regional general manager for northern and eastern Europe, Jamie Heywood, said safety is its “top priority” after the appeal was filed at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.</p>
<p>He continued: “We are committed to Londoners and are working closely with TfL to address their concerns and requests, as we have since 2017.”</p>
<p>TfL rejected Uber’s application for a new London licence last month, due to “several breaches that placed passengers and their safety at risk”.</p>
<blockquote><p>We are further strengthening our robust systems</p></blockquote>
<p>It found that a change to Uber’s systems allowed unauthorised people to upload their photographs to legitimate driver accounts, enabling them to pick up passengers.</p>
<p>This resulted in 43 drivers making at least 14,000 uninsured trips.</p>
<p>Some of these drivers were unlicensed and one had received a police caution for distributing indecent images of children, TfL said.</p>

<p>Uber says its London operation has 45,000 licensed drivers and 3.5 million customers.</p>
