BARNSLEY Council is urging people to stay safe during the festive period and be aware of unlicensed vehicles when getting a taxi.
Unlicensed vehicles are not insured to take fare paying passengers and have not been examined by a qualified person to make sure that they are roadworthy.
At Barnsley Council, all licensed drivers undergo a rigorous application process which includes a medical examination and a criminal record check to make sure the driver is safe and suitable to hold a licence.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
