Taxi and private hire licensing

Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Licensing Policy Consultation

The Hackney Carriage & Private Hire Licensing Policy is a one stop policy providing all the polices used to licence and manage through enforcement powers, Hackney Carriage and Private Hire vehicles, Drivers and Private Hire Operators. The policy draws on the Governments Statutory Standards which was introduced to provide a minimum set of standards for local authorities to work within along with best practice guidance issued by the Department of Transport.
We are looking for interested parties to comment on the policy document either agreeing or disagreeing with each policy point and where disagreeing, adding what you would like the policy point to say.
The consultation can be accessed using the link below and will run until 27th October 2025.
