This report presents the updated policy proposals concerning the Council’s taxi and private hire licences and the findings of the public consultation that was carried out between 3 March 2025 and the 28 April 2025.

The current policies were adopted in June 2021, following the establishment of BCP Council. These policies are divided into three distinct areas: driver, vehicle, and operator licensing.

Since their implementation, there have been updates issued by the Department for Transport to statutory standards and best practice guidance as well as legislative changes.
