Decision looming on taxi drivers test



A DECISION on whether taxi drivers in Barrow will have to face a test to see whether they are fit for the job is set to be made by the council in the next few weeks.

On September 7, Barrow Borough Council's Executive Committee will meet to consider plans to implement a mandatory Knowledge Test for cabbies, regardless of whether they are new or have been in the profession for years.

It will be then be put before the full council so that it can be adopted.

The test, which will have to be taken by Hackney Carriage and private hire taxi drivers, will see cabbies face a local geography test as well as enhanced awareness training.
