OXFORD CITY COUNCIL SEEKS PUBLIC INPUT ON HACKNEY CARRIAGE QUANTITY CONTROL
Oxford City Council is seeking public feedback on its policy regarding the number of licensed black cabs operating in the city.
This public consultation which launched on 4 September and runs until 27 November, aims to gather insights from residents, visitors and stakeholders on the current availability of taxis and choice when travelling within the district.
"Black cabs offer a convenient and flexible way to get around the city," said Councillor Louise Upton, Cabinet Member for Planning.
"We want to ensure our current policy on the number of licensed black cabs is working effectively for everyone. We encourage residents and visitors alike to participate in this consultation."
There are currently 107 hackney carriage vehicle licences in Oxford.
The consultation seeks to assist the council in answering the following three questions:
What benefits or disadvantages arise for the travelling public as a result of the continuation of hackney carriage vehicle quantity controls.
What benefits or disadvantages would result for the travelling public if the hackney carriage vehicle quantity controls were removed
Is there evidence that removal of the hackney carriage vehicle quantity controls would result in a deterioration in the amount or quality of taxi service provision
