It's a shame that a village is devoid of a genuine taxi service as that's when the illegal taxis thrive which are often unsafe and uninsured for paying passengers .
The licensed taxis regularly complain and campaign against unlicensed illegal taxis taking their jobs and the police can stop and impound these cars too but what is the answer in this situation?
I would still ask in the town hall as see what they say, it would be interesting to know.
