New training for cabbies in Nottingham



TAXI drivers in Nottingham could be forced to take safeguarding training, according to a new report.

Nottingham City Council will next week consider whether to insist that combined hackney carriage and private hire drivers take the course.

These are drivers that are given the licence to drive both private hire vehicles and black cabs.

According to documents the training would be aimed at helping drivers "identify a vulnerable person" and "raise their understanding of the relationship between driver and vulnerable person and their responsibilities in this area."

The changes if approved, would be effective from January 1 and apply to all new applicants for private hire or hackney carriage driver licenses in Nottingham.

All existing combined hackney carriage and private hire drivers will also be required to attend as part of their renewal process.

Failure to attend training might lead to drivers' licenses not being granted.

The matter will be discussed at a meeting of the council's Regulatory and Appeals Committee takes place on Monday, December 1 at Loxley House.

Yet another f@ckwit LA that think they can put a condition on a Hackney Driver licence.

If they only have combined badges, someone should appeal and get them stopped.

Drivers don't see the pitfalls of duel badges, they only see the saving of having just the one badge.

It is Nottingham, did you expect anything else?

Well if it's nottingham, it won't be long before it gets to you in ASHFIELD

They tried but me and Cassey kicked them out. The kids in the cellar letter to Kev Hitler stopped all these training firms spouting their bollox off.

that must be the wealthier part of the family - my part were so poor we could only afford one 's'

Some agree.
