Purpose:

Content: RESOLVED that the Committee –   (a)      support a modified version of the original proposal taking into consideration the representations at Appendix D to the report, with adjustments to –   ·       Tariff 1: Increase from £2.50 per mile to £3.00 per mile ·       Tariff 3: Increase from £3.75 per mile to £4.50 per mile   (b)      note the proposed modification was reflected in the representations received at Appendix D to the report and responded directly to concerns raised during the consultation process.  An updated proposed version with the above modification was attached at Appendix E to the report;   (c)      note that the adoption of the Hackney Carriage table of fares was an Executive function.  Therefore, any final tariff would require a Lead Member Delegated Decision to ensure the Council met its constitutional obligations, and   (d)      authorise officers to arrange a working group with the licensed trade and committee members within a period of six months to discuss further matters around taxi fares.
