Minutes:

 

Chris Howell, Licensing Manager, presented a report seeking support for consultation with the private hire trade group on the proposed draft changes to conditions for private hire Operator, Drivers and Vehicles.

 

The Licensing Manager provided the following responses to issues raised by the Committee:

 

  • The new conditions would apply from the time a new licence is granted or renewed.
  • There have been many changes with the recent onset of technology within the private hire trade. This together with the intricacy of cross border hiring necessitates the proposed draft changes

 

Resolved:

  1. That Licensing Officers undertake a consultation exercise with the trade groups.
  2. That the Licensing Manager submit a report to a future meeting of the Committee detailing the consultation responses and a final draft of private hire conditions, with a recommendation, for consideration.
