Queries have arisen in terms of fees for
hackney carriage vehicles, drivers and
operators, and whether if licences are surrendered (due to
implications of Covid-19)
the Council will refund fees.
Fees in this instance are locally set, and are substantial in terms
of their cost. The proposal is that if an individual wishes to
surrender a licence until its expiry, due to concerns over
transporting passengers etc., and then they re-apply, the Council
allow them the pro-rata fee (according to the licence period
remaining) off a future licence application (for the same licence),
if made in the 2020/2021 financial year.
