I should have elaborated. Disabled customers, those with very limited mobility (those who usually would be entitled to a blue badge, and will haev a taxi badge) should be allowed to haev the driver stop where they need to go. I am not saying that all taxis should be allowed this however, but on receipt of the badge, the taxi should be permitted this.
If the passenger in the taxi would be entitled to stop/park their own car in that location by way of their Blue Badge (or an entitlement to one that they don't actually hold), yes. (Blue Badges do not entitle one to cause an obstruction; the only class of vehicle entitled to do that is the emergency services attending an incident).
Otherwise, no.
Taxis should, as mostly single-occupancy vehicles, be treated the same as private cars.
