Important
If you wish to be a hackney carriage driver but live outside of
South Staffordshire we require information, pursuant to section 57
of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976 as to
whether you intend to use the vehicle in South Staffs District or
rather outside of the district. You will need to be able to show
what proportion of your business you propose to carry out in South
Staffs and what business will be carried out elsewhere and in
particular where.
If we have concerns that the hackney carriage is to be used
primarily outside of this area then the decision on whether to
licence you would need to be made by our licensing committee which
meets approximately every 6 weeks.
This is in accordance with the decision in R
(App Newcastle City Council) v Berwick-upon-Tweed Borough Council
[2008] EWHC 2369
