Taxi/Private Hire Policy Consultation

Stirling Council has drafted a new policy for taxi and private hire vehicles and drivers. Stirling Council has responsibility for licensing taxi and private hire vehicles and drivers within its area. The policy intends to set minimum operating standards to be adhered to, to improve standards of service and the safety of the general public.

The policy covers: vehicle colours and age; meter requirements; CCTV use in vehicles; driver certifications; driver medical fitness, and; criminal conviction checks.

We are seeking views on the new policy for taxi and private hire vehicles and drivers. We are seeking views of all interested parties, including public, operators, drivers and representative bodies."
