I should add that the following points represent my personal views as the Chair of Cardiff’s Licensing & Public Protection Committee, and not the views of the Committee as a whole. 1) Cross-border hire problems. I note that this issue is the main focus of the Committee’s enquiry. The issue of cross-border hirings is not one which has been a problem in Cardiff over recent years, as such I have no major comments. However, I would like to make the following suggestions and comments on the general issues relating to the taxi trade, which I could like the Committee to consider. 2) Restriction of taxi numbers. One of the major issues facing the taxi trade in Cardiff and beyond relates to the provision for local authorities to restrict the numbers of Hackney Carriages in a local authority area. Most local authorities do not operate a restriction; Cardiff has moved from restricting numbers to derestricting and has now moved back to imposing a cap. These decisions have proved to be contentious, and have demonstrated to me that the lack of clear guidance from central government is both confusing and damaging to the trade. The messages from the Department For Transport conflict with those of the Office For Fair Trading, with one body advocating delimitation and the other arguing that this should not be mandatory. What is needed urgently from central government is a clear line which states categorically whether Councils should or should not cap Hackney Carriage numbers. 3) Need for updated legislation on taxis. What is really needed is an updated set of regulations and laws relating to taxis. It is ludicrous that taxi legislation is based on laws which are hopelessly out of date. Current legislation and regulations are piecemeal, inadequate and have failed to deal with the evolution of the trade over the past 50–100 years. The differing regulations over Hackney Carriages and private hire is a case in point, as is the regional element whereby different local authorities have such different regulations over taxis (with Hackeys painted different colours and having differing requirements for what vehicles should be used). I would strongly urge the Committee to lay the groundwork for a long-overdue review of taxi laws and legislation, so that this can be taken forward during the current Parliament. I trust these comments will be given due consideration. I would be happy to expand on these issues if that would be helpful. November 2010 Written evidence from Peoplemovers East Anglia ltd (TPH 02) With reference to the inquiry into private hire licensing. I have now been a minibus operator in Norfolk for 12 years running mainly within the education sector I now feel the pcv industry in Norfolk especially has suffered dramatic changes due to the licensing of eight seat private hire vehicles in 2002 as an operator we had 10 regular school contracts since 2008 we have lost all school contracts for small 16 seat vehicles if we did not foresee the changes coming early enough to diversify and change the vehicle sizes on our fleet to 27, 29 and 48 seat vehicles we would now be out of business. In 2008 Norfolk county council sent a package to all operators requiring us to take numerous hours to complete consisting of vehicles run mileages and our carbon footprint so The County Council could show how green it was. At the end of the tendering process for that year local pcv operators within the Norwich area lost a massive 40 school runs as these where offered to local private hire contractors as vastly reduced rates as the 16 seat school runs where split into smaller eight seat runs By County Council and pcv operators where give the excuse that a lot of the children on these runs could not travel together but had been for the last five years so now we 60 private hire vehicles running instead of 40 pcvs I would not exactly call this green and also feel that safety standards are below the standards offered by pcv operators as we all know private hire vehicles only get tested yearly at annual test as pcv operators by law maintained their fleets and carry out inspections usually on a 28 interval I feel the only reasons for these changes are for cost cutting and the safety of passengers is now a serious risk.

  • Literature Review
    LOCAL LEVEL RURAL PROOFING PROJECT GOOD PRACTICE LITERATURE REVIEW A stage report for Defra by Rural Innovation Introduction The methodology for Defra’s Local Level Rural Proofing project includes a review of existing literature on good practice in the design and delivery of services in rural areas at an early stage of the project. The aim of this review has been to identify evidence of “underlying principles” of good practice. Those principles identified will be tested further and expanded upon from intelligence gained in the primary evidence gathering stage of the project. To keep this review manageable within the project timescale, we have focused on evidence of good practice and exemplars of rural proofing produced over the last five years. The list of documents to be reviewed was agreed with the project Steering Group. This short report considers each document in turn and offers some initial conclusions. The paper does not provide full summaries of the documentation reviewed. Rather it concentrates on identifying evidence of "underlying principles" which contribute to improved outcomes from the design and delivery of services for rural users. We define these "underlying principles" as something that could be applied to the design or delivery of any local service and which would improve the outcomes for rural people, communities or businesses. To be useful in the context of this project an underlying principle needs to be locally delivered, to be rurally focused and to deliver benefits to service users. 1 Emerging Conclusions This review of literature and case studies suggests that the following approaches / actions might be considered to be valuable underlying principles of good practice in the design and delivery of rural services: 1.
