'Spy' in the black cab puts brakes on attacks

THE use of CCTV cameras in Liverpool's black cabs has been declared a resounding success by a leading taxi dealership.


Liverpool's owner drivers have claimed a dramatic reduction in abuse and attacks against them following the installation of the hi-tech surveillance systems.

Launched last year, the 'ICU' CCTV camera systems from Taxifix Ltdwere initially part-funded by the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce.

Available in four packages - Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum-the systems provide increased security to meet the requirements of today's professional taxi driver.

As a taximan for five years, William Blain didn't hesitate to install a Gold package CCTV camera system from Taxifix.

He says: "With false insurance claims on the rise, it didn't take me long to realise the benefits of CCTV. People see the screen and immediately reassess their intentions."

Also feeling safer following the installation of a CCTV system is Kevin Brown: "Since installation the camera has instantly resolved a number of insurance disputes.

"It captures footage that provides vital evidence when making a claim," he says.

Taxifix boss Damian Lynch said: "As Liverpool continues to celebrate its Capital of Culture status, the safety of taxi drivers and their passengers is of paramount importance to us.

"Our CCTV packages protect drivers who feel increasingly exposed to violent attacks from unruly passengers.

"We've also had tremendous feedback from passengers, especially women, who now feel a lot safer travelling in a taxi.

"These systems not only increase security they also resolve insurance problems by giving a taxi round the clock surveillance by covering the vehicle inside and out."

Taxifix years ago put together the CCTV- system that I have in my Hackney's... and all credit to them...But what needs to be said now... is that it was the T&G in Liverpool that pushed for the grants..... Now as a sales aid Taxifix are selling new cab's with the new cameras paid for by the grants. :roll:
