Plans to Install CCTV in Darlington Taxis
Proposals to install CCTV inside taxis have been supported by a majority of Darlington drivers.
The introduction of inward-facing CCTV in taxis is among several changes proposed by Darlington Borough Council to make Hackney Carriage and private hire vehicles safer.
- 64% of respondents backed installing CCTV in a recent public survey.
- 30% of respondents were against the proposal.
Darlington Borough Council says the move would protect taxi drivers and passengers.
However, the council faces several issues before making the installation of CCTV cameras mandatory, including the potential for local drivers to register their vehicles elsewhere.
A council report notes that if the policy were implemented, there would be a significant financial incentive for proprietors to license their vehicles elsewhere, reducing effective local control in Darlington.
