Overview

This consultation seeks feedback on Licensing Services proposals to  harmonise its policies and procedures with the Department for Transport’s Statutory Taxi & Private Hire Vehicle Standards.

Why we are consulting

The Department for Transport (DfT) published its ‘Statutory Taxi & Private Hire Vehicle Standards’ on 21 July 2020.

A review of Licensing Services’ operation has been completed. On 9 September 2020, the Non-Statutory Licensing Committee approved a 12-week public consultation of the proposals to harmonise Licensing Services’ policies and procedures with the Department for Transport’s Statutory Taxi & Private Hire Vehicle Standards.

Please ensure that you read all of the documents before beginning to answer the questions

What happens next

The results of the consultation will be used to update the draft documentation for discussion at the January meeting of the Non-Statutory Licensing Committee.
