IF YOU’RE NOT CONFUSED YOU MUST BE MISINFORMED here is a lot of confusion, misinformation and an over- abundance of terminology. This T is not, as you could be forgiven for imagining, a comment on the latest Brexit rants by yet another deranged Tory government minister.

  • 1 Licensing Committee 7 March 2019 Report of the Assistant Director, Growth and Regeneration Ride Hailing Applications
    LICENSING COMMITTEE 7 MARCH 2019 REPORT OF THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR, GROWTH AND REGENERATION RIDE HAILING APPLICATIONS (RHA) - UPDATE Exemptions None. Recommendations That Committee notes the content of this report. Purpose To provide an update to Licensing Committee on Ride Hailing Applications (RHA) and inform future decisions in this area of Taxi Licensing. Executive Summary An initial report went before Licensing Committee on the 2 March 2017. Members and the public may see and may have used ride hailing applications (RHA) e.g. Uber, Gett, Wheely, Addison Lee, MyTaxi. Therefore, Tamworth Borough Council should plan for an enquiry from licensed drivers and from prospective drivers about whether they can drive for a ride hailing application. No ride hailing applications have been issued a private hire operator’s licence with Tamworth Borough Council and so cannot operate private hire vehicles in our Borough, however, a company such as Uber has operator licences in other areas such as Wolverhampton, Solihull, Birmingham and Leicester. As with all private hire operators, Uber can dispatch vehicles and drivers to carry out work anywhere in the country providing that the vehicle and driver that is allocated the booking is also licensed with the local authority that issued the relevant private hire operator’s licence. Hackney Carriages that are licensed in Tamworth can do pre-booked work for any operator in the country. Our only condition is that we will not normally licence a vehicle that won't be used primarily in our area, so in essence the vehicle needs to be working in our Borough more often than not.
