To set the level of the Hackney Carriage tariff for the Borough.
At the meeting of the Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Committee held on 16 September 2008 it was resolved to carry out a review of the Hackney Carriage tariff on an annual basis at its September meetings. The Fareham Hackney Carriage Association is consulted each year to ascertain if they wish to increase the tariff and this is carried out through the Taxi and Private Hire News Letter that the Council produce on a regular basis and any request is reported to the Committee. No request for any increase has been received this year.
However following recent case law relating to policy matters associated with the function of taxi licensing, it has been confirmed that the Hackney Carriage tariffs /fares are the responsibility of the Executive and that the decision relating to the adoption and approval of a table of fares must now be made by the Executive.
That the Executive approves the Hackney Carriage tariff, as attached at Appendix B to the report.
