Minutes:

The Executive Member for Environment and the Public Space submitted a report detailing the need to approve a new fee structure for various licences as a result of the Deregulation Act 2015.  These related to licences for Hackney Carriage Drivers, Private Hire Drivers, Private Hire Operators and Dual Drivers.

 

The Executive noted that the Council currently issued such licences on an annual basis.  The new legislation required Dual Driver and Private Hire Driver licences to be issued for a minimum of three years and for a Private Hire Operator’s licence to be issued for a minimum of five years.  The proposed fees were set out in the report now submitted.

 

The Executive supported the proposal now detailed.

 

RECOMMENDED - that the proposed licence fee levels, as set out at Essential Reference Paper B of the report submitted, be approved.
