People who use taxis across Lichfield and Burntwood are set to benefit from the creation of four new ranks.
The bays have been introduced after requests from tax firms for more places to pick up and drop off customers.
The ranks at Tamworth Street and Bore Street in Lichfield, Atherstone Street in Fazeley, and Rugeley Road in Chase Terrace have been officially opened after their approval by Lichfield District Council.
Councillor Ken Humphreys, Chairman of Lichfield District Council’s Regulatory and Licensing Committee, said:
“I am delighted to officially unveil the new taxi ranks. I hope that they will be useful to taxi companies and their customers.”
The taxi ranks on Tamworth Street and Atherstone Street are in full time use, seven days a week, while the rank on Bore Street is in use from 6pm to 7am every day. The Chase Terrace rank is in use from 11pm to 5am every night.
