Episode Details

Greater Manchester is fighting for local control over taxi licensing, tired of seeing cabs from hundreds of miles away—like Wolverhampton or Sefton—operating in their streets. Mayor Bev Craig has been pushing the government for years, arguing that taxis should be licensed where they’re based, not where they’re registered. The goal?

With the current Prime Minister in charge, change may finally be on the horizon—and it could reshape how taxis operate across the UK.
