Weekend party-goers will have a safer night out, it is hoped, after taxi marshals are installed on a permanent basis.
Due to the success of a trial run in December, two marshals will be placed at the junction of High Street and St. Mary’s Street between the hours of 8pm and 4am on Friday and Saturday nights.
The initiative aims to assist with the safe and secure co-ordination of taxis and to eliminate drivers who operate in an illegal or irresponsible way.
Co-ordinated by the Cardiff Community Safety Partnership, the project is one of a series recently undertaken in the city centre to help improve night-time safety and public reassurance.
Councillor Judith Woodman, Co-Chair of the Cardiff Community Safety Partnership said:
“It is of vital importance that Cardiff continues to have a safe and efficient night-time economy. I’m delighted that this scheme has proved successful so far, and will be continued for at least the next couple of months.”
