York taxi drivers raise concerns over policy changes
Four used wheelchair-adapted taxis listed for sale online costing up to £20,000 each would meet proposed standards for vehicles in York, drivers have claimed.
Drivers told York councillors proposals for all hackney carriages to be painted black, meet the highest emissions standards and follow window tinting rules limited the availability of adapted vehicles.
York Taxi Association secretary Alan Brewer told councillors the scarcity of vehicles resulted in one driver travelling to Portsmouth to get one while disabled groups were crying out for more.
