Purpose

To seek the Committee’s approval and
authority to advertise proposed fare increases following the
hackney carriage trade’s request for an increase in
fares

Decision

RESOLVED:
 

1. That Committee
approves the proposed fare increases and authorises the Head of
Safer Communities to advertise the proposed variation in fares and
invite any objections in accordance with the legal
requirements.

2. Agree that if no
objections are made, or if any objections which are made are
withdrawn, the varied table of fares will come into force in
accordance with the statutory scheme.

3. Reconsider the
matter at the next meeting of this Committee if valid objections
are made but not withdrawn. As there are strict legal timescales
relating to fare reviews a special meeting of this Committee may be
required.
