Taxi Enforcement Policy Minutes: The Committee considered a report to provide delegated powers to the City
of Wolverhampton Council from Halton Borough Council, under Section 101 of the
Local Government Act 1972. A report was presented to the Regulatory Committee on the 9 October 2024,
accepting the formal arrangement between the City of Wolverhampton and Halton
Borough Council. Providing the City of Wolverhampton Enforcement Team the same powers,
encourages partnership working with other Authorities, and provides a
strengthened enforcement function generally, which should be of benefit to the
people of Halton. A letter of authorisation for each of the named officers at Wolverhampton
City Council would be provided, and this could be shown to the licensees. Copies of the licence conditions and relevant
policies would be exchanged, as well as information on reporting enforcement
action. This would allow officers at
Wolverhampton City Council, to enforce licensing requirements for vehicles
carrying a plate licensed with Halton Borough. RESOLVED: That the Committee approved the proposed formal arrangements
between Halton Borough Council and the City of Wolverhampton Council, in
relation to officer authorisation concerning Taxi and Private Hire licensing
functions and resolved to delegate
powers to the City of Wolverhampton
Council under Section 101 Local Government Act 1972 accordingly. |
