Noted that:

-       the unmet need survey could be brought forward if required

-       feedback from the hospitals and observations from outlying areas such as Headington should be included in this.

Council resolved:

1.            To note that there is currently no unmet demand for the services of Hackney Carriage Vehicles and

2.            therefore to maintain the Council’s Policy of Hackney Carriage Quantity Control and the current quota of 107 Hackney Carriage Vehicle licences; and

3.            that a further “Unmet Demand” survey be commissioned in 2018, subject to any future changes to relevant legislation.
