    Tuk-tuks could be seen on the streets of Newquay after a licence was granted for a new company looking to run a service in the town.

    NuBeez had applied to Cornwall Council for a private hire licence so it could operate electric tuk-tuks in the town.

    The original plan had been to start the service this year but due to the coronavirus pandemic it has been delayed until 2021.

    Cornwall Council’s miscellaneous licensing committee agreed unanimously to grant a licence to the firm, but several conditions must be met including the need for doors to be fitted to the vehicles, which can carry up to two passengers.

    The company is operated by Georgia Horsley and Dr Prasad Raja Venkatesh who said they have plans to expand to Padstow, St Ives and Fowey and will operate between April and October.
