REMOVALS firm owner Janet Louth claims a taxi rank in Marlborough is rarely used and takes up valuable parking space.

Mrs Louth from Salisbury Road took advantage of public question time at Marlborough town Council meeting on Monday to make her point.

Taxi driver Roy Lance said the rank was used by taxis waiting for fares but it was unfair to expect taxis to be there all the time. He said: "When we have a fare we are out on the road but we do need the rank."
