Limit on Hackney Carriage Vehicle Numbers

Following an Unmet Demand Survey and consultation East Herts Council has limited the number of Hackney Carriage vehicle licences it issues to 200. This cap is below the number of licences currently issued. As such no further Hackney Carriage Vehicle Licences are likely to be issued until the number has decreased to below 200. Please email licensing.taxis@eastherts.gov.uk for further information.
