TAXIS in Craven will have to be fitted with CCTV cameras by April for the protection of both drivers and passengers. Craven District Council had been due to make cameras mandatory in September, last year - but deferred it because of the coronavirus pandemic. The council originally adopted its new taxi policy in June, 2018, and proposed giving owners until April, last year, to get cameras fitted. But, it was deferred at the time following concerns from the taxi trade about the cost - between £450 and £600 - of having the cameras installed. At its online meeting, the council’s Licensing Committee did consider putting it off again, at least until June, once again over uncertainty due to the coronavirus pandemic, but decided it had been going on long enough.
