To amend licence conditions for Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Vehicles and Drivers

RESOLVED – The Committee agreed that Hackney Carriage Hire Vehicles, as a condition of licence, must have a functioning cashless payment facility available for passengers to pay any fare due from the 1 st May 2022. This facility must be connected and working at all times to ensure customers are able to pay by card. Proprietors may also have a receipt printing facility should they wish to do so.
