Money from West Dunbartonshire s licensing budget was used to pay for police officers overtime to monitor taxi ranks in busy areas at the weekends ALTERNATIVE funding methods must be found by West Dunbartonshire Council to secure the future of its festive safety scheme this year. Welbeing initiative Night Zone West (NZW) was launched in 2014 and designed to keep local people safe during the festive season through the employment of “marshals” at taxi ranks in Clydebank, Dumbarton and Alexandria. In 2016/2017 Scottish Government community funding was cut which meant there would be no taxi marshals that year; instead, funding was secured from the licensing budget, which paid for police officers’ overtime to allow for an additional police presence in the main town centre areas of West Dunbartonshire.
