‘Outrageous’ waits of up to two hours for a taxi could be risking lives it is being claimed, amid calls for more vehicles to be allowed on the road.
Stirling Council currently caps taxi vehicle licences at 69, with an extra 10 purely for rural areas. Any applications outwith the cap have to come before the council’s planning and regulation panel.
The authority, however, also has to carry out unmet demand surveys every three years - but the last one was carried out in April 2016.
