Taxi!

Wolverhampton City Council have started a consultation on Taxi arrangements in the City.

The proposals are around new and replacement Hackney Carriage vehicle requirements, harmonisation with those for Private Hire vehicles, allowing purpose built, wheelchair accessible, Hackney Carriages to join the fleet at up to eight years of age, subject to appropriate safety standards being met.

If you are a Wednesfield North resident and have a comment, you can email me via the City Council or on my email@philbateman.com account and I will read and use the comment.

If you are a taxi driver or are involved in the trade. I would urge you to write to the Chair of the consultation arrangements, Councillor John Reynolds at Wolverhampton City Council.
