Decision

i)      To approve the revised table of fares as set out in Appendix A to the report;

ii)     To agree that the revised table of fares be subject to public consultation from 29 October 2026 to 12 November 2026 (“the consultation period”) and to delegate authority to the Head of Environmental Health and Licensing to undertake all necessary action in connection with the said consultation; and

iii)    To note that the revised table of fares will be effective from 13 November 2026 if no objections are received during the consultation period.

Reasons for the decision

To revise hackney carriage fares throughout the District.

Alternative options considered

To not review hackney tariffs may lead to a reduction in the availability of hackney carriages in the Horsham District. This would have an adverse effect on drivers and the travelling public.
