The Council has adopted a new Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Licensing Policy which is effective from 1 September 2022.
The Council's Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Licensing Policy explains how the Council will deal with the licensing of hackney carriages, private hire vehicles, drivers, and private hire vehicle operators. The Policy includes information on how to apply for a licence and explains how the Council will make sure vehicles are safe and fit for use and that drivers and operators are suitable people to undertake these roles.
