Barrow taxi drivers banned from wearing hoodies or baseball caps BARROW taxi drivers have been warned they could be sent home if council officers catch them wearing inappropriate clothes while on duty. Barrow Borough Council's licensing department is understood to be planning to enforce rules surrounding professional standards of taxi drivers working across Barrow, Dalton, Askam and Walney. The Evening Mail understands council officers have confirmed they will begin enforcing a no smoking policy in taxis and a dress code while on duty. TAXI DRIVERS' DRESS CODE Barrow Borough Council's dress code for taxi drivers states: The Authority is committed to encouraging the professional image of the trade and it considers that drivers should conform to a minimum standard of dress, as set out below, in order to raise and maintain the profile of the licensed trade. Whilst the Authority does not wish to impose such standards by way of conditions to any licence it expects, however, that such standards will be maintained at all times. Acceptable Standards of Dress within this code: Tops, shirts, blouses, T-shirts, or sweat tops should cover the shoulders and be capable of being worn inside trousers or shorts. Shirts or blouses can be worn with a tie or open necked. Trousers/Shorts/Skirts Trousers may be either full length or shorts if tailored. Short skirts should not be worn. Smart jean type trousers permitted. Footwear Footwear should fit around the heel of feet. Examples of Unacceptable Standards of Dress within this code: Bare chests Unclean or damaged clothing or footwear Clothing with offensive words, logos or graphics Sportswear promoting sports teams Clothing with studs or sharp edges Beach type footwear (e.g. Flip flops and mules) Baseball caps, “hoodies”,or “woolly hats” Tracksuits or shellsuits. source: http://www.nwemail.co.uk/news/barrow/Ba ... 5f86001-ds |

Some taxi drivers do dress like chavs or worse. Drivers should not be wearing flop flips. |

Again a Council decides to have a "No Smoking" in a TAXI policy,which they are going to enforce. Why have they not enforced the LAW banning smoking in the workplace previously,there have been numerous prosecutions of TAXI and Private Hire drivers highly publicised for infringing this LAW. |
