Hackney Carriage - Fares To consider a variation of fares for hiring Hackney Carriages within the Borough.
(Report attached) Minutes:
The Committee considered a report which outlined the options for a variation of fares for hiring Hackney Carriages within the Borough.
Members were informed that the last fare increase had been approved on 29th November 2008 and took effect from 12th January 2009 as follows:
Mileage
Officers reported that the Executive Committee in October 2008 had recommended that various retail price indices, including petroleum products be taken into account when considering a variation in fares for hiring Hackney Carriages.
Using these indices the effect on the fare table was found to be minimal.
Consultation had been carried out with Redditch Taxi Association who had agreed the policy and recognised the effect of low inflation on the current tariff.
RESOLVED that
there be no increase in the Hackney Carriage fare rates for the year 2009 to 2010.
