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:
- That Licensing Officers undertake a consultation exercise with
the trade groups.
- 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.
