To agree to reopen the Licensing Front office
to members of the public to allow checking of original documents
and verifying of details to take place in a face to face
consultation with new taxi drivers, as demand has increased for new
drivers to be licensed. To reopen from Monday 24 August 2020.
Reason: Demand for new licences to be issued has recently increased
due to businesses re-opening. Delaying opening of the licensing
office will create a backlog of applications that will cause
additional pressures to staff. It is also important that we are
seen to be assisting the community at a crucial stage of economic
recovery.
