No Increase In Taxi Fares For Burnham-On-Sea 20th September 2008 Taxi charges in Burnham-On-Sea will not rise, it was decided this week. A request was made to Sedgemoor District Council by Sedgemoor's Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Drivers Association to increase fares to cover rising fuel costs. It comes after Burnham-On-Sea.com reported earlier this year how drivers are bearing the brunt of soaring fuel costs and are angry that the district council - which oversees passenger fares - is not helping them more. However, a meeting of Sedgemoor's licensing and general purposes committee on Wednesday (September 17th) turned down the application, saying a second rise was not necessary. Sedgemoor District Council has the authority to fix rates or fares, as well as all other charges in connection with the hire of a vehicle. Sedgemoor gave the go-ahead for a small taxi fare increase in April this year. Source; Burnham-On-Sea.com |
