Policy for the Allocation of Hackney Carriage Vehicle Licences Report of Director - Environment is attached. Additional documents: Minutes: The Committee considered a report of the Director – Environment, Paul Barton, presented by the Licensing Manager, Joanne Brockley, which detailed the proposed policy and criteria for the allocation of Hackney Carriage Vehicle Licences.

Resolved: The Committee:-
(1) approves the policy and criteria for the allocation of hackney carriage vehicle licences (where there is availability for a hackney carriage vehicle licence to be granted); and (2) approves the immediate implementation of the policy. |
