I WISH to publicly thank the police who were on duty outside Liquid and Toast night clubs in Lancaster last Saturday night for the professionalism with which they marshalled revellers.

With them in attendance there was not the usual human barrier on the road waiting to stop a taxi followed by a scrum as they all try to get into the same vehicle.

Instead, those who required a cab queued up on the pavement and we were able to stop on the rank as two officers then allowed people into the cabs.

There was a calm atmosphere and no trouble as the police and taxi drivers worked together.
