Support and training for Fenland taxi drivers to help reduce transmission of Covid-19
| Updated: 16:43, 29 January 2021
Taxi drivers in Fenland will be able to access new training and funding in a bid to help passengers and drivers stay safe during car journeys.
East Cambridgeshire District Council, together with neighbouring district and city local authorities and Cambridgeshire County Council, have come together to tackle the transmission of Covid-19 in taxis by creating a county-wide safety scheme.
The scheme will provide taxi drivers with video training, explaining the necessary safety precautions required such as cleaning procedures, cashless payment and the use of face coverings, as well as provide a subsidy for fitting a quality standard screen within their vehicle to separate driver and passengers.
