D. TERMS OF REPORT D.1 Background Following an earlier review of taxi stances within West Lothian various stances were formally designated in 2009. Since then the stances in Bathgate, Linlithgow and Broxburn have been the subject of further discussions and the stance adjacent to the Asda store in Livingston has been extended. Once a stance is formally designated enforcement action may be taken by the Police. Following designation parking of vehicles other than taxis is not permitted and no vehicles other than taxis are permitted to pick up passengers from the stance. In order to formally designate a taxi stance the Council is required to consult with the taxi trade, and then having decided to approve the stance, the Council must then 1. Give notice to the Police; and 2. Place a public advertisement in a local paper giving public notice of their intention, and 3. Take into account any objections or representation received within 28 days of such notice prior to making a final decision. D.2 Advertisement A report was approved by the Council Executive on 7 August 2012 authorising the Chief Solicitor to advertise the Council’s intention to designate a number of taxi stances and the removal of another which is no longer required. The advertisement contained in Appendix 1 of this report was placed in the West Lothian Courier on 30 August 2012. That advertisement contained information that the Council was intending to designate the following taxi stances - 1. Bathgate - King Street for a distance of 22.8 meters and then 30 meters (as shown in Appendix 2) 2. Linlithgow - High Street adjacent to numbers 88-98 for a distance of 11.2 meters 2 (as shown in Appendix 3) – it was proposed that this will be a part time stance operating between the hours of 6pm - 6am Monday to Friday and 24 hours a day on Saturdays and Sundays with the area being used for loading outwith these times 3. Livingston – Almondvale East Road adjacent to the Asda store for a distance of 61.2 meters (as shown in Appendix 4) 4. Broxburn – East Main Street adjacent to the swimming pool for a distance of 10 meters (as shown in Appendix 5) 5. Broxburn – West Main Street, adjacent to number 16 for a distance of 20 meters (as shown in Appendix 6) It was also proposed to revoke the larger of the two stances in West Main Street, Broxburn extending to 37 meters as shown in Appendix 6. In terms of the advertisement representations were to be sent to the Chief Solicitor by 27 September 2012. No representations were received. It is recommended therefore that the Council Executive authorise the formal designation of the stances numbered 1-5 above and the removal of the larger of the two stances in West Main Street Broxburn extending to 37 meters as shown in Appendix 6. The designation of the stances will mean that some minor amendments to existing traffic regulation orders will be required. These amendments are: • To allow the introduction of the day-time loading bay in High Street, Linlithgow; and • To prohibit waiting by any vehicles other than licensed taxis in designated taxi stances in Broxburn, Linlithgow and Livingston The amendments will be advertised and any objections reported back to the Council Executive for a decision. Signs and marking will then be implemented and the stances will become enforceable. E. CONCLUSION A review of taxi stance provision in Bathgate, Broxburn and Linlithgow has been undertaken and the Council’s intention to designate a number of stances and remove one which is no longer required has been advertised in line with the statutory requirements. No representations were received by the Chief Solicitor regarding these proposals within the statutory period. Council Executive approval of the proposals is now required to complete the statutory designation process. Some minor amendments to existing traffic regulations orders are required and the Council Executive is asked to approve the initiation of the statutory procedures to make these amendments. F.
