A CONSULTATION with taxi drivers which revolved around CCTV systems being fitted in vehicles has ended.

The council’s licensing officers were successful in their bid to the government’s Transport Innovation Fund, paving the way for free-of-charge cameras to be fitted in order to boost safety for both drivers and passengers.

A ten-week consultation began in October and came to an end last week.

Ruling cabinet members are expected to meet on March 5 to discuss the consultation’s responses.
