Minutes:
The report of the Director of Central Services and Monitoring Officer set out details of a proposal to adopt a new single consolidated set of model Byelaws for Hackney Carriages, produced by the Department for Transport (DfT), to regulate the conduct of Hackney Carriage Drivers. He explained that any regulation of hackney carriage drivers must be secured through byelaws and that the latest set would bring the existing byelaws into line with changes in legislation and practice.
RECOMMENDED: That
(1)
the Council passes a resolution to adopt the model byelaws, as set
out at Annex 1 to the report, for the regulation of Hackney
Carriages in accordance with section 68 of the Town Police Clauses
Act 1847 and section 171 of the Public Health Act 1875;
(2)
the Director of Central Services be authorised to take all
necessary steps to apply to the Department for Transport for
confirmation; and
(3)
the model byelaws shall come into effect from the date on which the
byelaws referred to above are confirmed by the Department for
Transport and the current byelaws revoked.
