Taxi ranks
Taxi ranks are provided on-street for use by hackney carriages.
They are provided where a demand has been identified, such as
outside large establishments like clubs, bus and rail stations etc,
or at locations where the public or taxi operators have suggested
they would be beneficial. The main consideration in the location of
taxi ranks is to ensure they can be safely accommodated without
conflicting with other kerbside demands. They are sited so that
passengers board or alight from the taxi onto the footway on the
nearside of the vehicle. Ranks can be operational for 24 hours or
evening only.
We provide a number of dedicated taxi ranks at key
