CHRISTMAS TAXI’S DECEMBER 2016 – INFORMATION AND BOOKING

During the Christmas period our Trust will only provide taxis to colleagues under exceptional circumstances. This covers those working on Bank Holidays over Christmas/New Year who:

  • Do not have access to a vehicle
  • Do not drive
  • Cannot access public transport at the time transport is required.

Should any of the circumstances above apply, then the provision of a taxi is subject to approval from the department’s authorised officer and approval for the taxi cost is to be taken from each individual department budget.
