To consider a report on the potential harmonisation of the hackney carriage ‘table of fares’ across the three hackney carriage zones within the Borough of Cheshire East.

The Committee considered a report regarding the potential harmonisation of the ‘table of fares’ across the three hackney carriage zones within the Borough.

RESOLVED

(a)    That, subject to consultation, the existing tariffs in the Congleton and Macclesfield hackney carriage zones be harmonised with those of the Crewe and Nantwich zone.

(b)  That the Borough Solicitor, or officer acting on her behalf, be authorised to publish the relevant notices of variation, making provision for any objections to be submitted within the statutory consultation period of fourteen days; and

(c)  That, if no objections are received within the statutory consultation period in response to the notices of variation published in accordance with (b) above (or if any such objections which are received are withdrawn), the relevant tables of fares will come into operation in the relevant zones on the date of the expiration of the consultation period (or, if later, on the date that the last objection, if any, is withdrawn). If objections are received and not withdrawn they will be reported to a subsequent meeting of the Licensing Committee for consideration.
