Swale Borough Council - No Excuse for Abuse


Swale Borough Council is supporting a scheme from the National Private Hire Taxi Association to increase awareness about the physical and verbal abuse suffered by taxi drivers.

It follows news that two men were jailed after setting a taxi alight after a night out in Canterbury in December, while the driver was still inside. Several incidents have also been reported in the Borough of Swale.

The council is offering a “No Excuse for Abuse” sticker to every driver, and urging passengers to treat drivers with respect.

Cllr Cameron Beart, deputy cabinet member responsible for licensing at Swale Borough Council says:

“Taxi drivers are an essential method of transportation within our area, and it’s vital they should be protected. Any abuse, be it physical, racial or verbal will not be tolerated and should be reported to the police. We encourage drivers to come forward.”

To claim your free sticker, please Email the licensing team: taxis@swale.gov.uk

Any abuse should be reported to the authorities immediately.

Topics covering a wide range of historic interest are covered during the year and anyone can attend - you don't have to live in Newington.

Apart from guest speakers and visits, NHG will be organising Newington Uncovered, the village's annual Heritage Open Days on September 14 and 15, and will be involved in the 100th anniversaries of the First World War Peace Day Celebrations in June and war memorial unveiling in September.

The group meets in the Methodist Hall, Church Lane, at 7:30pm on the second Thursday of the month, excluding January and August. Annual subscription is £15 and guests (£3) are welcome.

We're interested in hearing stories and memories about people and places linked to the village. We can offer advice and assistance to people researching family and local history. As a member you can help us unearth, preserve and promote the history of the village and neighbouring areas.
