We’re currently consulting on revised suitability criteria for the standards that apply to hackney carriage and private hire drivers, vehicles and operators.
Our current standards for taxi drivers, vehicles and operators show that they are not currently consistent with the UK standards published by the Department for Transport or Welsh Government guidelines
Revised suitability criteria is now needed in order to comply with the DfT standard and Welsh Government guidelines.
We’re seeking views on revised suitability criteria that will be considered prior to a final decision on adoption by the Environmental Licensing Committee. Views are sought from drivers, operators, vehicle proprietors, trade bodies, users of taxis, user groups, the residents of the County Borough and any other interested parties.
