COUNCIL chiefs say they are working to identify a new location for a city centre taxi rank as part of pedestrianisation plans.

The cabinet at Lichfield District Council will discuss [proposals to make an 18-month trial limiting vehicles accessing roads permanent](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/cabinet-to-discuss-plans-to-make-lichfield-city-centre-pedestrianisation-trial-permanent/).

The plans would mean taxis could not access Bore Street which is regularly used as pick-up point.

But a report to the cabinet meeting said alternatives were being sought.

> “Bore Street isn’t an official taxi rank. We are continuing to engage with taxi operators to find an alternative location to establish a tax rank.  
>  
> “We are working to ensure this is in place for when the bollards are operational.”

The council is proposing to install retractable bollards to restrict access to city centre roads.

But a report from Cllr Janice Silvester-Hall, cabinet member for, said some more fundamental changes could also be made.

> “A particular issue that was raised during the trial was access to the blue badge parking bays on Bore Street, which is currently only one-way meaning blue badge holders have to drive through the pedestrianised zone to access them.  
>  
> “We are exploring the feasibility and cost of making Bore Street two-way.”
