The council are seeking views on a revised policy which details how we licence taxis and private hire vehicles, operators and drivers. The consultation is in two parts, we are consulting on the draft Taxi Licensing Policy, and we also have a survey of 10 questions asking your views on proposed changes within draft policy. We’d welcome your views to both parts. 

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.
