Appointments of Stands for Hackney Carriages

Minutes:

The report of the Director of Central Services and Monitoring Officer referred to the Council’s power to appoint stands for hackney carriages within the Borough and to the two existing Regulations in place for the appointment of stands.  Details were given of an Order made by Kent County Council to coincide with the improvement scheme on Tonbridge High Street resulting in the taxi stands in Avebury Avenue and Bradford Street being designated as Disabled Persons Parking Spaces.  Since the Order had no legal effect in relation to the taxi stands, a new Regulation was presented for consideration to replace the two existing regulations and take into account the KCC Experimental Order.  This also provided an opportunity to consolidate the existing provisions into a single regulation.

 

RESOLVED:  That the draft Regulation set out at Annex 3 to the report be approved for consultation purposes subject to deletion of the reference to Botany, Tonbridge in Part 1 of the Schedule.
