RESOLVED:
That Cabinet approved, with any necessary modifications, the proposed Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Licensing Policy 2023 to 2027, as set out in Appendix 1, and agreed that it is adopted by the Council and implemented with effect from the 1 April 2023.
Minutes:
The Portfolio Holder for Highways and Regulatory Services introduced the report which set out the proposed Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Licensing Policy 2023 to 2027, which has been updated taking into account the Council’s priorities, representations made by the hackney carriage and private hire trade and changes in legislation and national guidance.
Members noted that there had been issues with private hire vehicles picking up passengers when they are not licenced to do so; however this could be acted upon once the policy had been adopted.
