Council Take On Taxi Drivers

The District Council are planning to close the taxi rank in Railway Street.

The proposal is aimed as tackling illegal parking by taxi drivers in the pedestrianised areas or Bircherley Green and Railway Street.

The existing rank will become short stay on-street parking as well as loading and blue-badge parking.

The taxi rank in Fore Street will become the main rank for taxis in the town centre.

If the measures are approved at Thursday's Licencing Committee meeting, a Traffic Regulation Order will be published later in the year.
