Overview

Birmingham City Council (BCC) intends to implement the Department for Transport mandatory guidance for taxi and private hire licensing, as well as making other improvements and changes to the way in which licences are administered. Before doing so we seek the opinions of stakeholders, other interested parties and the general public.

Why your views matter

Please note, whilst BCC is interested in your views, the mandatory nature of the guidance requires many of these measures to be implemented unless there are compelling reasons not to do so. The following proposals and the responses to this consultation will be considered by the Licensing and Public Protection Committee, before any amendments are made to existing policies or conditions of licence.
