Minutes:

The purpose of this report was to consider the objections received during the consultation period of the review of the Hackney Carriage (taxi) table of fares and agree the adoption of a new table of fares.

 

The Cabinet Member for Development and Licensing introduced the report and summarised the proposed new Hackney Carriage tariffs and the comments and feedback responses from Hackney Carriage licence owners.

 

Cabinet noted an alternative set of proposed tariffs had been submitted, but could not currently be considered alongside the first set.

 

Cabinet noted that the proposed new tariffs were maximum amounts that could be charged, and taxi drivers were able to charge less if they chose to do so (which is currently the case).

 

Cabinet noted that the tariffs had been set at an amount that would enable taxi driving to remain viable at a time of rising operational costs.

 

RESOLVED: Cabinet considered the report and the objections received in response to the proposal, and agreed to adopt the revised proposed hackney carriage table of fares shown in Annex A.
