Party-goers in Crawley are being advised to only use licensed taxis for New Year celebrations.

Crawley Borough Council have issued these tips for revellers:

• Make sure you get into a licensed vehicle – it will have a Crawley Borough Council plate on the back
• Taxis, which are all white, can be hailed in the street and at the town’s taxi ranks
• Private hire vehicles must be pre-booked though the company, not the driver of the car
• If the private hire vehicle is from a Crawley company make sure it has a Crawley Borough Council plate on the back and Crawley ID in the car.
