Issue - meetings

The Senior Licensing Officer introduced the report and drew specific attention to the urgent update for the item, which included an updated table for point 2.15 of the report.

The fees and charges had been robustly reviewed in 2016, with a two per cent inflationary increase recommended. The increase was in accordance with the Council’s Medium Term Financial Strategy 2020/21-2025/26.

The proposed Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Licensing Fees would be subject to a period of consultation before being implemented.

1.  The fee levels as set out at 2.7, 2.9, 2.11, 2.13, 2.15 (as updated) and 2.16 of the report, for implementation on 1 April 2022, be approved; and

2.  The fee level as set out at 2.6 of the report for implementation on 1 April 2022 be approved, with any consultation responses received to be presented to the Committee for consideration before that fees implementation.
