Further to your information request FOI/EIR 21/22-106 please find your question and our response below.
Request:
1)Are any of the following ride-hailing service providers operating in your Local Authority?
• Uber
• OLA
• Bolt
2) If yes, are they operating with or without a license issued by your Local Authority?
3) When did they first start to operate (launch date) in this Local Authority?
4) Do they continue operating in this Local Authority? If no, when did they stop operating in this Local
Authority?
5) Since their first start date, have any operators had their licence suspended? If so, when?
Response:
East Cambridgeshire District Council does not hold information on ride hailing services in our area other
than for any who approach us for licence, and I can confirm that we do not licence any such companies in
this district. It is wholly possible and legal for these companies to operate in our area without holding an
ECDC licence depending upon the type of vehicle they use and/or where that vehicle/driver are licensed.
As we do not hold the information your first question relates to we are unable to answer your further
questions, and you must rely on the statement above.
This concludes your request FOI/EIR 21/22-106
If information has been refused please treat this as a Refusal Notice for the purposes of the Act.
