The Licensing Committee has voted to conduct a consultation on a proposed enforcement policy for hackney carriage and private hire vehicle drivers. The policy sets out the consequences if hackney carriage or private hire drivers break motoring laws, or are the subject of numerous complaints from the public.

We hope residents will weigh in on the policy to let the committee know if it strikes the right note, or indeed if it is too stringent or not stringent enough.

The 12-week consultation began yesterday. The draft policy is available at:
