Issue - meetings

The Committee is invited to consider the proposed amendment within the report and approve the Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Licensing Policy.

By means of a report by the Licensing Officer (a copy of which is appended in the Minute Book), the Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Licensing Policy was presented to the Committee.

Having presented the report, Councillor Ferguson stated that he was in full support of the policy and was happy to remove any confusion to the public. Following an enquiry from the Chair Councillor Wells, it was further clarified to the Committee that comparisons had been made to best practice from Transport for London and larger authorities and that source material was included within the supporting documentation.

Whereupon, it was

RESOLVED

that the proposed amendment be noted and that the Hackney Carriage & Private Hire Licensing Policy be approved to take effect from the 6th June 2025.
