36 PRIVATE HIRE AND TAXI MONTHLY in the news NEW RED CARD SCHEME
FOR UNRULY DRINKERS LAUNCHED IN GREAT YARMOUTH
The first troublesome drinker was shown a red card at the week- end under a new scheme which aims to clamp down on alco- hol-fuelled violence in the borough.
A man who refused to walk away after a seafront scuffle was handed an exclusion order under the revised Nightsafe scheme, which sees unruly drinkers banned from member premises with their profiles and pho- tographs uploaded to a secure website.
After the first red exclu- sion order card was issued, incident details and a picture of the unruly drunk was imme- diately uploaded to a website and within ten minutes more than 70

licensees and police officers had access to the information.
It was issued following a fight involving six men which was broken up by door supervisors, but one man refused to leave and threatened door staff.
After notifying the
town’s CCTV control room the exclusion order was issued, and the man is now banned from entering any member premises for six months, and the ban could be extended if the order is breached. Launched in January, the new Nightsafe
scheme, devised by Long Bar owner Mike Butcher and PC Gary Pettengell of Norfolk Police, aims to be more effective in tackling alco- hol-fuelled violence with instant banning orders. PC Pettengell told the Great Yarmouth Mercu- ry: “This is an excellent example of how effective the new Nightsafe scheme is and how it empowers victims. Under the old scheme an exclusion order could only be served following a court conviction and then only if the planning committee agreed.” Local taxi firm Albies said that it would be signing up to the scheme, mean- ing people who cause trouble in their taxis face being banned from pubs and clubs.

partner Andy Kitchen stressed that it would not mean people banned from pubs and clubs could not use their cabs, but instead attempted to encourage good behav- iour.
“Most of our taxis have cameras and by being
members we can pass on that information,” said Mr Kitchen. The scheme is being piloted in Yarmouth, and organisers hope it will roll out across the county and be adopted by police forces up and down the country.
Problem recruiting Taxi drivers? UK TAXI HAVE THE SOLUTION
TAXI READY
TO USE
Everyone knows what its like trying to recruit taxi drivers to meet demand in the UK. The two avenues generally employed in the taxi industry are of attracting drivers from other offices or training local applicants from scratch. More often than not they do not fulfil the demands you need to meet in an appropriate timescale. So much of your time and money is wasted and often your recruits fail to recognize your efforts.
It’s a nightmare for you. But it need not be anymore. The office hopping driver can become an experience of the past. Let us supply you with a stable rent income and the all important business growth factor.
