Taxi drivers across the county are often earning less than minimum wage having been hit by a fall in demand for hospitality-related trips, as well as losing out on self-employed government financial support.
Mark Snelling is a manager at Millennium Taxis in Costessey, who has reduced his number of drivers from eight to three with demand at just 33pc of pre-pandemic times.
He said: There are a lot of companies that will go out of business because they ve got mortgages to pay and kids to look after.
