Summary
The beloved Edinburgh Trades Taxi Outing, a decades-old tradition giving kids with serious health issues a special day, was cancelled this year due to new policing guidelines that blocked road closures — forcing taxis to drive with regular traffic, which organizers deemed unsafe. The cancellation sparked widespread disappointment and triggered an emergency council meeting with police and organizers to find a solution. With the event funded and run by taxi drivers, everyone involved is united in preserving it, prioritizing children’s safety above all. Police Scotland vows to collaborate on a safe alternative, and with strong backing from city leaders, a compromise is being actively pursued to ensure the tradition continues.
