Private hire operators' licence documents

Guidance and forms for private hire operators' licences.

The council has adopted a taxi policy. Appendix 5 of that policy details the policy and conditions for private hire operator licences, including a requirement for at least a  basic DBS check of all those named on the licence to be supplied.

The council is required by law to maintain a public register of hackney carriage driver licences. The council publishes this register as it considers that there is public interest in making the register available online. The register is required to contain the name of the licence holder.

If you feel that the publication of your information on the online version of the register adversely affects your interests, rights, and freedoms, you can raise an objection to this. Details of how to raise an objection can be found on the council’s website.
