Background:
This report requested that the Cabinet set the Hackney Carriage Tariffs. The current tariff, attached at Appendix A to the report, had been set on 5 August 2022 and had come into effect on 15 September 2022.
On 12 January 2024, the Council had received a proposed tariff submission report from the MLTDA for a variation to the current tariff with a copy of the survey, response analysis and driver’s comments, which were attached at Appendix B to the report.
The request had previously been considered by the Licensing and Safety Committee on 9 February 2024, which recommended Cabinet to set the tariff in accordance with the proposals set out within Appendix B. The minutes of the meeting were set out at section 6 to the report.
