Decision:
DEFERRED:
Consideration of the Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Conditions Policy has been deferred by the Cabinet to give officers an opportunity to review the new Statutory Taxi and Private Hire Vehicle Standards issued by Government to licensing authorities. Although it is anticipated the Council’s proposed new Policy contains the expected standards, which have been issued to improve the safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults, it is considered appropriate to allow additional time to carry out these checks before final approval of the Policy is sought.
Minutes:
This item was withdrawn from the agenda by officers, as set out in the decision below. The Statutory Taxi and Private Hire Vehicle Standards were issued on the day in which the Cabinet was due to make its decision on the proposed Policy. The item will now be considered by Cabinet at a later date.
