Taxi marshals will be in attendance to provide reassurance during Largs Live.

The matter of whether there was going to be marshals this year was raised during last Thursday's community council meeting.

Member Patricia Perman said that she thought the taxi marshals, who have been brought in for busy periods in the past, usually at Christmas, has proved effective, and hoped that they would be brought back for the busy weekend of entertainment in Largs.

A spokeswoman for the Largs Live confirmed that there would be marshals in position for the busy periods.

The taxi attendants were introduced several years ago during festive periods in a bid to tackle alcohol-related disorder and provide extra reassurance.

A police spokesman said: "Taxi marshals are a great help in preventing minor skirmishes at taxi queues, and helping people get home safely."
