Taxi Licensing Policy Consultation
The council are consulting on a revised policy which details how we licence taxis and private hire vehicles, operators and driver and we would welcome your views on the new policy.
The Taxi Licensing Policy Consultation is open from 19 April, and closes on 14 July 2024.
This is the first major review of our taxi policy for some years and will incorporate revised statutory guidance together with increased checks on drivers to ensure their continued fitness and propriety.
Members of the public, the taxi trade and other parties such as representatives of disability groups, local partnerships and transport user groups will be invited to offer feedback on the revised policy. All feedback will be considered as part of the decision-making process.
The council's Taxi Licensing Policy was approved by the Gambling, Licensing & Regulatory Committee on 25 April 2016 and came into force on 1 May 2016.
