Not only to keep young people safe after nights out, but also to protect those who work club nights and shouldn't have to walk vulnerably to find a taxi in the early hours of the morning.

This area is frequented by people of all ages either eating out or enjoying the very vibrant night life which is so much a part of Bournemouth. It makes absolutely no sense not to have a safe and reliable form of transport readily available and within easy reach, to see them safely home afterwards. I cannot see that the Council's decision to close this road to the taxi service will benefit the thousands of tourists and students that flock to Bournemouth in the Summer months in any way whatsoever. I strongly suggest that the Council rethink their decision before the Summer Season is upon us.

Why take the most important night time rank away? Leaving no official taxis ranks or signs to the nearest ones also having to be dropped at the top of richmond hill and walking down an unlit area where a 16 year girl was killed a few years back madness this is concerning from a females point of view. And lastly from a biker sort that junction out because no one knows who's right of way it is ..and is those coloured bricks resembling a predestrian crossing actually one? Because they a being treated as one.. Bring Down The.Barriers..

At present people have to walk several hundred metres to the nearest rank, particularly the Old Christchurch Road rank which begins at O'Neils. People will be exiting Cameo, for example, possibly inebriated and vulnerable, with a long walk ahead, and if a visitor, no idea where to go to find transport. Even worse in bad weather. If the desire is to cut down on traffic, then a taxi only zone after 10 pm might be appropriate. Under the current arrangement there is potentially greater chance of violence due to undispersed crowds.

Bournemouth borough council should realise that Taxi drivers provide a fantastic service to the general public and more so of a night time when they remove some of the problematic members of the public as well as providing a safe mode of transport home for some of the more vulnerable members of the public.
