Decision Maker: Cabinet Member for PIanning and Licensing
Decision status: Approved

Purpose:
To consider data received from recent informal
public consultation in respect of a proposed 11.7% increase in the
maximum table of fares for licensed Hackney Carriages in

Decision:
To agree that, after consideration and subject to the required formal 14-day public consultation process and any objections subsequently received that an increase of 11.7% on the current fares should be implemented.

Reasons for the decision:
Based upon the public consultation, over 50% of respondents supported the proposal.
Alternative options considered:
To retain the current approved Maximum Table of Hackney Carriage Tariff.
