Agenda item

To consider any reports referred from the Executive and the Council’s committees and receive questions and answers on any of those reports.

Councillor Chambers, the Chairman of the Licensing and Environmental Health Committee, presented the report, which was to inform Council of the unanimous decision taken by the Committee on 20th March 2019 to endorse all of the proposed changes to UDC Taxi Licensing Policies. Council was now being asked to endorse these changes.

In response to a Member question, Councillor Chambers said the Committee’s key aim was to protect members of the public. Currently the Council was doing the statutory minimum for checks on licensed taxi drivers. The new policy would ensure the Council implemented best practice.

RESOLVED that the proposals and documents recommended in the policy be adopted by Uttlesford District Council.
