The latest SUD survey is well underway with cctv links being used at the train station, Chestergate, Heaton Moor and Cheadle. Despite this, some drivers have been illegally refusing passengers for short journeys. It has been reported that the manager of a large store was refused and the licensing officer is purported to be "furious"
Well if that is the case, he should enforce the law and arrange "mystery shopper" trips with trading standards officers. It is an absolute offence for a hackney carriage driver to refuse a fare within the controlled district, unless the passenger is unfit through drink, drugs or similar.
The few remaining passengers using cabs in the town are being told to: (a) walk, it's not far or: (b) It's a long trip I am going to nail your hat so firmly to your head you will never dare come back again.
All this at a time of a survey and dwindling passenger numbers, the people responsible must have been on a hell of a business course.
Merry Christmas
