Review of Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Policy

We have amended how we process and administer licensing applications. We have also reviewed part of the Policy to reflect various changes, and identified where some of the aspects within the policy should be amended to help support the trade and allow for some flexibility.

The changes agreed in September 2021, November 2021 and February 2022 include an extension to require CCTV installed in all licensed vehicles from March 2021 to no later than March 2023, an extension to introduce age limits for renewal of licences to 9 years in December 2023, and an extension to all new licensed vehicles to be ultra low or zero emission until December 2023.
