Cllr Faragher advised that following consultation with the committee chair, Cllr Ms Sanders, it had been agreed to withdraw Item 4 – Setting of Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Driver Licence Fees for 2018/19 – pending consideration of issues raised in a letter received from the Taxi Trade Consultative Group.

In light of this, in order to consider the setting of all licensing fees and charges together, it had been decided to also withdraw Item 3 – Setting of Licence Fees for 2018/19 - from this agenda and consider both matters at the

31 January 2018 Planning and Licensing Committee meeting.
