Application for a Private Hire Operator's Licence

Private hire operators are responsible for ensuring that the vehicles and drivers they dispatch hold valid, appropriate licences to undertake those journeys and will only be granted a licence if the Council is satisfied that they are fit and proper to hold such a licence.
