Pin Point 'Green Light' - Taxi trade - 12th March 2026

Open consultation - local transport authorities and the licensing of taxis and private hire vehicles

Have your say:

The Government is consulting on an option to giving all local transport authorities responsibility for taxi and PHV licensing.

This consultation is seeking views on just one potential, but incredibly significant, option to identify the right level of regulating this form of transport.

Our work continues to explore how best to change the underlying legislation to move towards a modern, consistent and passenger-focused licensing framework that supports both public safety and the needs of the sector. 

There is a specific section of the consultation aimed at and requesting feedback from the trade.

How long is the consultation?

The consultation will run from 8 January 2026 to 1 April 2026.
