Reason for Decision:
The maximum permitted
hackney carriage fare was last increased on 1 May 2011. Taking into consideration inflation and the
increase in hackney carriage operating costs since 2011, an increase to the
maximum permitted hackney carriage fare is considered appropriate.
Implementation of Decision:
The decisions will be
implemented after the three day call in period.
Consultation:
A consultation exercise
has taken place with the hackney carriage proprietors.
