Consultees

These guidelines form part of the application procedures and do not directly affect anyone currently licensed or constitute any licensing conditions for drivers. Legal Services has been consulted on these guidelines and had no adverse comments to make.   Operating companies were also consulted and one response was received, in favour of the proposed guidelines and indicated that they should be stricter.

 

The proposed guidelines follow those of Peterborough City Council and the Governments circular 13/92 guidelines for applicants for Hackney Carriage and private Hire driver applications. Other neighbouring Authorities have no formal guidelines to assess applications from.
