Taxi drivers from across Leeds have protested outside the city’s Civic Hall, as controversial changes to the way they’re regulated move closer to being passed.
Under proposals, drivers with nine points or more on their licence will face potential bans, down from the current threshold of 12.
At a meeting on Tuesday, Leeds City Council’s licensing committee agreed to recommend the rule change be approved. The council’s executive board, made up of the most senior councillors, is expected to rubberstamp the decision next month.
