Minutes:

The Committee considered increases to the prices for taxi and private hire licensing for the financial year 2020/21.

 

The majority of the Committee considered that the proposals needed to be considered by a task and finish before making a decision. The Committee acknowledged that such a group would need to complete its investigation before Christmas to enable the Council to introduce any revised charges at the beginning of the next financial year.

 

RESOLVED that Councillor Weeks be requested to set up a task and finish group to scrutinise the propose changes and report back to a future meeting.
