Consultation on Taxi and Private Hire Policy 2024

Following the formation of Cumberland Council a draft taxi and private hire policy has been prepared covering the Cumberland Council area. Prior to the preparation and publication of the new policy, there is a period of consultation with licence holders, a wide range of organisations and agencies, residents and businesses from across Cumberland.

The policy sets out the principles that Cumberland Council propose to apply in exercising its functions under the taxi and private hire legislation.

The Council is currently formulating a new policy and you are invited to comment as part of the process.

The draft policy is divided into 7 sections together with a document for completion with any comments you may wish to submit.

The policy will be referred to the Licensing Regulatory Committee later in the year together with responses to the consultation for their consideration. The new policy will be effective from 1 April 2025.

Please return any comments by completing our online survey by Friday 18 October 2024. Responses received after this date will not be accepted.
