Taxi drivers are calling for barriers outside Stockport station after claiming to get "daily" abuse from other drivers trying to park at the rank.
READ MORE: Ex-Harrop Fold headteacher and Educating Greater Manchester star Drew Povey banned from teaching Asim Javed is a taxi driver who has been working in Stockport for seven years, and said the problem is often caused by non-taxis trying to find an easy place to pick up friends or family members from the station.
Mr Javed taxi drivers would be happy if barriers are installed on the road and also on the pavement so customers can queue in a single line. Stockport council said it is reviewing suggestions from the association over safety measures for taxi drivers on the road. "While a taxi-only zone is challenging due to public access needs, we’re reviewing TASK’s suggestions for further improvements. CCTV is already in place, and we encourage drivers to report any incidents to GMP for investigation."
