Private hire fares could rise by 500 per cent
FARES FOR private hire cars in Telford could go up by 500 per cent, it was revealed today. FARES FOR private hire cars in Telford could go up by 500 per cent, it was revealed today. A dispute has broken out between Telford Private Hire Drivers Association and Telford & Wrekin Council after it was revealed the cost for renewing licences could rocket – meaning the minimum fare could jump from £3 to £15. The dispute also centres around a proposal to pay for marshals to escort nightclub revellers to waiting taxis. The council currently charges £124 for a single operator licence but this could rise to £365. The council's licensing committee proposed the increases, to include the cost of marshaling, which could see a private hire driver's licence for 12 months rise from £125 to £200 and the cost of a 12 month car licence jump from £134 to £225. But today council bosses said nothing has been decided and a solution had to be found as council taxpayers were subsidising the service to the tune of £40,000. Read more in today's Shropshire Star
