Minutes:
The Head of Licensing presented a report which proposed to amend the existing private hire livery, in order to create a more uniform and identifiable fleet of South Ribble Borough Council Private Hire Vehicles.
Members were advised that both Hackney
Carriages and Private Hire Vehicles were not limited to where they
could place company signage and logos. A change in policy would
make it easier for members of the public to identify a private hire
vehicle, which needs pre-booking in order to be insured.
RESOLVED: (Unanimously)
1.
The wording on the proposed Private Hire Signage would be amended
to, “if not pre-booked – not insured.”
2.
Licensing would undertake a consultation exercise with stakeholders
on the proposed changes to private hire signs, including the
positioning of such signs.
3. A report on the outcome of the consultation will be brought back to Committee at a future meeting.
