πŸš• THURSDAY UPDATE – THE SEASON ISN’T OVER YET!

September might be here, but Newquay is still busy β€” and there are still plenty of people who actually need to get somewhere!

With the schools going back, many local taxi drivers will now be tied up with school runs at certain times of the day.

Coastal Taxis still has availability around our school commitments for:

✈️ Flights to catch
πŸš† Trains & buses
πŸ₯ Hospital trips
πŸ“… Medical & other appointments
🧳 Airport & station transfers
πŸš• Pre-booked local journeys

If you’ve got somewhere important to be, book ahead and we’ll do our best to make sure we’ve got you covered.

However… if you ring six hours in advance wanting a taxi 500 yards down the road to nip to the Post Office because you can’t be arsed catching the bus, you may be disappointed. πŸ˜†

The season isn’t over β€” we’re just switching into autumn mode.

With Boardmasters just days away, I'm struggling to understand the timing of the enforcement activity being carried out by Cornwall Council and the police.

Several local taxi drivers have been stopped for detailed vehicle inspections, and in some cases vehicles have been taken off the road. One of my own drivers has had his taxi plate suspended over a minor issue. The repair itself is straightforward, but he can't get a garage appointment until after Boardmasters, meaning he's unable to work during the busiest week of the year and loses a significant amount of income.

It's worth remembering that licensed taxis are already subject to a much higher standard than private vehicles. They undergo two MOT tests every year and must also pass a separate Council vehicle inspection before a taxi plate is issued. Safety is, and always has been, a fundamental part of the licensing process.

Local licensed taxi drivers spend all year providing a service to residents and visitors alike, and Boardmasters is one of the few opportunities to recover some of the quieter periods. Taking vehicles off the road days before the festival has a real impact on local livelihoods and also reduces the number of licensed taxis available when demand is at its highest.

At the same time, there appear to be large numbers of out-of-area private hire vehicles operating in and around Newquay during the festival. It raises the question of whether enforcement is being applied consistently across everyone providing transport services.

Nobody is arguing against vehicle safety or proper enforcement. We all want safe vehicles on the road. But surely common sense and proportionality should play a part, especially when the consequences affect local drivers, local businesses and thousands of festival-goers relying on transport.

I'd genuinely like to hear Cornwall Council's reasoning behind the timing of these inspections, particularly when local drivers have already met such stringent licensing and testing requirements.

πŸŽͺ Or, of course, transport to and from Boardmasters.....we'll do everything we can to get you there safely and on time.
If you're planning to travel during the festival period, please book as early as you can. Demand will be exceptionally high, and pre-booking is the best way to avoid disappointment.
