To set the level of Hackney Carriage Tariff for licensed vehicles in the Borough.
Each year the views of the taxi trade are sought in respect of whether they wish the Council to consider an increase to the taxi tariff. Following a request for an amended tariff by the Fareham Hackney Carriage Association earlier this year, a newsletter was sent to the taxi trade, which sought their view on whether they wished to have an increase to the taxi tariff and also informed of the increase proposed by the Hackney Carriage Association. Apart from the Association proposal no other comments or proposals were received. This matter was considered by the Licensing and Regulatory Affairs Committee at its meeting on 22nd September 2015, the Committee resolved to recommend the changes put forwarded by the Hackney Carriage Association to the Executive when setting the level of tariff.
