The Committee considered the report regarding the Taxi Licensing fees for the period April 2024-25 for public consultation in line with statutory requirements. The Committee noted that two proposed fees had increased and one had decreased and that the fees were to cover the costs of the service and not to make a profit. In response to a question the Licensing Team Manager advised that a school transport bus with eight or less passengers would be licenced under this licensing regime. The Committee noted that the Head of Finance supported the recommendation.
