Taxi Consultation Open!

The Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Licensing Policy has been revised in line with the Statutory Taxi and Private Hire Vehicle Standards published by the Department for Transport and other current best licensing practice.

Epsom & Ewell Borough Council wants to hear what the taxi trade, residents and local organisations think about the proposals, and find out what our priorities should be for future reviews of the policy.

An 8-week public consultation is open until the 9 September 2022.

The full draft Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Licensing Policy can be viewed here. Whilst all sections of the policy have been updated to provide greater clarity and detail, a summary of key changes is also provided for convenience.

There is a brief questionnaire to help provide focus on the key issues we need to understand when develop our policy, see this link to complete it.
