Simon Fell, the MP for Barrow and Furness, is calling on Furness residents to nominate their favourite taxi driver to be forward for the national Parliamentary Taxi Awards.

Last year hundreds of people nominated dozens of drivers from various firms across Furness. Last year’s winner from Furness, as chosen by MP, was Sue Bragg from Susan Bragg Airport Taxis, who received dozens upon dozens of nominations from local people.

Launching the campaign to find Barrow and Furness favourite taxi driver for 2023, Mr Fell said:

“This year’s Parliamentary Taxi & Private Hire Awards are taking place in June.

“Last year I opened up nominations for the people of Furness to put forward a deserving taxi driver and it was great to see so many different nominations come in.

“Once again I am inviting people to submit a nomination for their chosen taxi driver. We all know taxi drivers who go the extra mile. This is the chance to thank them, and have them recognised for their efforts at the national Parliamentary Taxi and Private Hire Awards.”

Nominations close on Friday 28 April 2023, and nominations can be made on Simon’s website at www.simonfell.org/taxi-awards
