Make sure you stay safe this Christmas

SSDCWith the festive period nearly upon us, South Somerset District Council is urging its residents to stay safe this Christmas and book taxis in advance of their evening out.

It is not insured and may not be licensed. Ensure that the driver is displaying a council approved driver’s badge. For your own safety, always take a council licensed vehicle – the driver and vehicle have both been vetted. Full details: Read more
