A blind woman wants taxi drivers to complete a passenger assistance training was created by Able_Here_Team
A blind woman wants taxi drivers to complete a passenger assistance training course after claiming she has been refused lifts because she has a guide dog.
Jill Allen-King, who is in her 80s and lives in Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex, said she had been denied a taxi on many occasions over the last 10 years. "There were certain drivers who wouldn’t take my dog," she said.
Southend Labour councillors have joined her appeal to urge the council to make new taxi drivers complete the training, which includes assistance dogs and the Equality Act 2010.
