Tuk Tuk owners issue statement on plans for taxi rides up and down Steep Hillhttps://www.lincolnshirelive.co.uk/news ... nt-2986738A business planning to run tuk tuk trips to stop people having to tackle walking up Steep Hill say that they are hopeful of getting a licence.
Holla Tuk Tuk will take residents and tourists for just £3 a person to travel up and down from the Bailgate to Lincoln's High Street if it gets a Hackney Carriage licence.
A meeting due to be held to decide whether the business should get a licence was due to take place on June 12 was postponed.
Yet owner Christine Kimbrell said she is still confident of getting one.
She said: "It has taken eight months just to get to this point, but the council are doing a very thorough job.
"The Hackney licence meeting was delayed but hopefully we should get an answer really soon.
"It's just a waiting game now, but Ipswich and Devon councils have both passed a similar thing."
Christine hopes to have an answer by the end of July so that they can get up and running as soon as they possibly can.
The company plans to start off with one taxi to see how it goes and then in a year and a half to expand to around 10 tuk tuks covering more of the city.
