Taxi drivers in Calderdale to face tougher English tests
Taxi drivers will face tougher English tests to become a driver in Calderdale after councillors agreed to new plans.
The licensing and regulatory committee approved the introduction of an in-house English test for all new applications for both hackney carriage and private hire licences.
The examination is set to be part of a consistent approach across the region, whereby all authorities are considering introducing a minimum standard equivalent to ESOL Level 3.
