Taxi licensing
We are responsible for the licensing of all hackney carriage drivers, known as dual drivers, private hire drivers, hackney carriage vehicles and private hire vehicles, and also operators.
Our licensing section is also responsible for ensuring that school vehicles and drivers are licensed under the school accreditation scheme. Vigorous checks are carried out to ensure that all persons are “fit and proper” as required by legislation.
