Incentive For Harborough Cabbies To ‘Go Green’
Written by HFM News on 12th June 2024
Harborough taxi drivers are set to be offered a 25% discount on their licence fee if they use a hybrid or electric vehicle or one which is wheelchair accessible.
The measure is included in a new proposed policy for the trade which has been drawn up by Harborough District Council.
Other key details include a change in vehicle specifications, the introduction of a daily vehicle check list and ‘Advanced Bookings Only’ signage on private hire vehicles.
The Policy will supersede current policies for the areas of the Harborough District and sets out the driver, vehicle, and operator standards for Hackney Carriages and private hire licensing for current licence holders and all new licence applicants.
It specifically focuses on increasing standards to improve public safety.
A consultation on the proposed new policy has been launched and runs until July 29th, after-which a decision will be taken on whether to adopt it.
