Proposed changes for licensing conditions to taxi services in Bridgend county borough have been discussed this month.
Among the proposed changes discussed at a meeting on Tuesday, September 27, were a number of points for the Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Vehicle licence conditions, specifically aimed at the safety of passengers.
They included the addition of a log book, recording details of drivers using leased cabs in the borough, as well as the requirement for drivers to inform the council of changes in health or convictions. All changes proposed were set to be subject to a 14-day consultation period with the trade, however councillors in attendance felt the time-frame was too short, recommending the approval on the basis it was altered to a 12-week consultation period.
