RESOLVED
 
That the Executive;
 

i)     
Approved commencement of a consultation process on
the potential removal of the current four hackney carriage zones
and replacement with one NNC zone;

 

ii)    
Approved that the current Hackney Carriage Byelaws
are reviewed.
 
Reason for Recommendation: Following the alignment of the
hackney carriage tariff of fares and implementation of one Hackney
Carriage and Private Hire Policy covering the whole of NNC’s
area implemented on 1st April 2023, it is appropriate to
consider the retention of four separate zones for hackney carriage
licencing. The review of the zones necessitates a review of the
byelaws which govern hackney carriage licensing.
 
Alternative Options Considered in relation to the
zones;

 

i)     
To take no action and retain the current four
hackney carriage zones.

ii)    
Determine that this matter requires further
consideration, but now is not the correct time to consider this
matter and defer consultation to a later date.

 
Alternative Option Considered
in relation to the byelaws;
 

i)     
To take no action and retain the current Hackney
Carriage Byelaws.
