This report was considered by the Licensing Committee at its meeting on 2 November 2021. An extract from the minutes of that meeting is attached.

Minutes: The Executive considered a request by the Hinckley Area Taxi Association for an increase in the table of fares for hackney carriages. It was noted that the revised tariff would come into effect from 6 May 2022.
Councillor Crooks entered the meeting at 6.34pm.
Members felt that a strong taxi network was essential and that, given the tariff hadn’t been increased since 2011 and in light of the increase in cost of living and fuel prices, the request was reasonable.
Officers were thanked for their work on this.
It was moved by Councillor Cartwright, seconded by Councillor Bill and
RESOLVED –
(i) The proposed tariff set out in appendix A to the report be approved;
(ii) The Licensing Officer be authorised to take the necessary steps to implement the revised tariff with effect from 6 May 2022, subject to there being no objections to the proposal;
(iii) Any objections be referred to a future meeting. |
