OUTRAGED taxi drivers are still being wrongly fined for using Colchester’s bus lanes – more than a year after they were introduced.

Car drivers were banned from going up North Hill and from turning right from High Street into Queen Street in October last year.

Taxis are exempt from the restrictions, but taxi drivers are still getting a steady flow of penalty charge notices.

They are fed up with the time it takes to go through the appeal process and criticised Essex County Council for wasting taxpayers’ money.
