Alternative DVSA Arrangements
The Regulatory Services Manager will give a verbal update.
Minutes:
The Licensing Enforcement Officer presented Members with a verbal update regarding a letter previously received from DVSA on 2 September which informed that the tests required by the Council were going to be withdrawn. Due to no available bookings, this meant that licence holders were unable to take the test from mid-October onwards.
Following research, findings suggested three alternative companies to be used within the local authority which met the standards required. The council concluded to take on all three to provide the taxi trade with the choice. These were now in place to be operated.
It was AGREED that the report be noted.
