A new grant will be launched this week for taxi and private hire drivers affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
Scotland’s local authorities will directly approach an estimated 38,000 drivers inviting them to claim the £1500 funding to help with their fixed costs.
Drivers must be licensed for the period October 9, 2020 to at least January 31 this year to be eligible.
However drivers who have claimed benefits such as Universal Credit or Job Seekers’ Allowance will not be eligible for the grant.
