Decisions for issue Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Enforcement Report

RESOLVED –

1.     That the Committee approves the proposed fare increases of 5% rather than the 3.5% originally requested and authorises the Head of Safer Communities to advertise the proposed variation in fares and invite any objections in accordance with the legal requirements.

2.     That the Committee agrees that if no objections are made, or if any objections which are made are withdrawn, the varied table of fares will come into force in accordance with the statutory scheme.

3.     That the Committee reconsiders the matter at the next meeting of this Committee if valid objections are made but not withdrawn. As there are strict legal timescales relating to fare reviews a special meeting of this Committee may be required.
