Blackpool Council’s public protection sub-committee approved the request
Members of Blackpool Council’s public protection sub-committee have agreed a request from the Blackpool Licensed Taxi Operators Association for a raft of price rises. Cabbies say the uplift is needed to cover rising costs of operating taxis.
The new fares will now be advertised as part of requirements to go out to public consultation before they can be adopted. The move will see the cost of a five mile cab journey increase by £1.20 to £13 from £11.80 ; to £16 from £14.80 ; and to £16.60 from £15.40 .Other changes, which were also approved, include bringing forward more expensive night time charges by an hour, to start at 8pm instead of 9pm, and introducing a 90p fee for carrying bicycles.
