Dundee taxi drivers can now apply for support grant

The Scottish Government recently announced a one-off Taxi & Private Hire Driver Support Fund of £1,500 to each eligible licensee.

This grant is now available to be claimed.

It comes as taxi and private hire drivers in Dundee say they're struggling to make ends meat with demand plummeting during the pandemic.

Dundee taxi driver John Curran says they've lost between 70-80% of their trade, and there's been "no sign" of the promised funding.
