Town road closure ‘hitting taxi passengers in pocket’

Part of Mulcaster Street is now closed to traffic after 10 pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, meaning drivers are being forced to take diversions which can make journeys much longer.

The road reopens at 4.30 am.

Neil Jones, president of the Cab Drivers’ Association, said that by being diverted up Pier Road, cars were being forced to take a one-mile detour – at a cost which was then charged to customers.
