AQW NUMBER 1024/17-22

I have not met with any taxi firms to date on the matter of Wheelchair Accessible Taxis, however I want to take the time to consider the issues carefully. I understand that there are a number of areas of the current taxi regime that continue to generate interest and concern among stakeholders and I intend to consider the issues in greater detail in coming weeks.
