North Tyneside Hackney Carriage and Licensing Policy

This consultation is about the issuing of taxi licenses. Each Local Authority (council) has responsible for issuing taxi licenses. Every council also has its own set of vehicle standards and one of these covers the age of a vehicle.  

North Tyneside has an approved plan to introduce new vehicle age standards in 2024 but since this was approved, Newcastle and Gateshead have introduce a Clean Air Zone with different vehicle standards to ours.

We would like to hear your views on whether you think our original plans are still workable, whether we should continue with them or whether we should consider a different standard.
