Minutes:

The Committee received a report which advised members on the outcome of the recent consultation which proposed amending the existing Taxi Policy so that vehicles would be re-issued with plates every twelve months, as opposed to six.

 

The consultation received 61 responses, with 60 agreeing to the proposed changes. Members received the report positively and were pleased that the trade agreed with the proposals.

 

Members sought clarification on the current testing procedure and were advised that it would not change. Vehicles would continue to be tested every six months, with plates being issued every twelve months.

1.    The Committee approve the proposal following the consultation outcome.

2.    The Committee agree that the report be taken to the next Full Council Meeting, with a recommendation to formally adopt the amended policy.

3.    That the report be noted.
