Statement of taxi and private hire policy consultation in relation to CCTV in Hackney carriage vehicles 2024.
The Department for Transport (DfT) recommends that all licensing authorities make publicly available a cohesive policy document that brings together all their procedures on taxi and private hire vehicle licensing. This includes policies on convictions, a 'fit and proper' person or 'suitability' test, conditions of licence and vehicle specifications and standards.
The Council has updated its Statement of Taxi and Private Hire policy to include the draft requirement for all Hackney Carriages licensed with Barnsley MBC to install CCTV. We now seek your views in respect of this.
This consultation will run for 10 weeks commencing on 25 October 2024 and finishing at 12am on 3 January 2025.
The focus of the CCTV requirement is to promote the safety of drivers and members of the public. You can view the draft amendments to the policy on our website https://www.barnsley.gov.uk/public-notices/. alternatively a hard copy can be made available for viewing at Library @ the Lightbox - please email licensing@barnsley.gov.uk.
