Councillors are set to explore how to improve safe transport for late-shift workers in North Tyneside.
In March, North Tyneside councillors unanimously voted to back trade union Unite's 'Get Me Home Safe' campaign. The campaign calls on employers to supply safe transport for employees, particularly at times when public transport may not be running.
Now, the local authority's licensing committee has been tasked with exploring how best to bring safe transport measures in, and how to get North Tyneside businesses involved.
