ADDITIONAL taxi facilities have been introduced in St Aubin and St Helier in time for the Christmas party season.
A new weekend taxi rank has been set up in St Aubin after a consultation involving parish officials, the Jersey Taxi Drivers Association and the Infrastructure Minister.
The new rank will be on La Neuve Route adjacent to the public car park behind St Brelade’s Parish Hall, operating from 6pm to 12am on Fridays and Saturdays, and from 12pm to 12am on Sundays.
In St Helier, the change will allow taxis to queue along Wharf Street on Friday and Saturday evenings from 10pm, to ensure a good supply of taxis are available at peak times at the main St Helier rank at the Weighbridge.
This will mean vehicles are unable to park in Wharf Street after 10pm on Friday and Saturday evenings.
The new arrangements came into effect today.
