LOCAL KNOWLEDGE TEST TO BE REVISED

Plans to ease taxi shortage

SOME taxi drivers in Plymouth will no longer have to pass a local knowledge test, if the city council approves a relaxation of the rules to encourage more people into the trade.

Plymouth City Council’s cabinet has supported plans to remove the KOP (Knowledge of Plymouth) test for ‘private hire’ drivers and the livery requirements for vehicles.

Visitors and residents in the city have been struggling to hire taxis because of a shortage of drivers. Councillors believe that, if the idea is approved and comes into force on April 1, more taxis will become available.
