Taxi customers in Rochdale can request an ethnically white driver after two Pakistani men working for the Car 2000 firm were jailed during Britain’s biggest child-sex grooming scandal, in which 47 young girls were raped and trafficked.

The firm, which now offers “local” drivers, took over the rival Eagle Taxis in 2009, which had employed the drivers involved in a scandal.

Stephen Campbell, manager of Car 2000, said the demand for white taxi drivers was a direct consequence of the scandal.

“We have had quite a lot of customers requesting what they call a ‘local’ driver. A bit insane if you consider that most of the [Asian] lads were born in Rochdale,” said Campbell.

He further pointed out that “it’s a business,” and said “we have got a duty to do what the customer asks us to. I don’t think we can discriminate against the customer in the same way. It is a business at the end of the day. We have a large bank loan to pay back.”
