Ways to increase the number of wheelchair-accessible taxis in Portsmouth are being investigated
Ways to pay for more wheelchair accessible taxis across Portsmouth are being explored - including the possibility of the council borrowing money to pay for it.
The call to action follows a notice of motion highlighting the limited number of wheelchair-accessible taxis, especially during busy times like school runs and evenings.
It comes as an Aqua Cars spokesperson recently told the licensing committee that purchasing a wheelchair-accessible vehicle costs between £45,000 and £50,000.
