A SCHEME to bring in surveillance systems in Barnsley’s cohort of taxis will be decided on by ruling cabinet members next month.

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 month.

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