FOI re private hire licensing
Dear Poole Borough Council,
I am undertaking some research and making a FOI request for the following information:
• all the taxi operators currently licensed by your licensing authority, their addresses and how long they have been licensed for
• the number of licensed private hire drivers associated with each operator
• the number of licensed private hire vehicles associated with each operator
• the fee and duration of an operator’s licence with your licensing authority
• the fee and duration of a private hire driver’s licence with your licensing authority
• the fee and duration of a private hire vehicle licence with your licensing authority
• the maximum age for a vehicle licensed by your licensing authority
• Is there a knowledge test for private hire drivers?
• Does your licensing authority have published service standards for determining applications for the grant of a private hire driver’s licence? - and if not, what is the normal length of time from receipt of application to grant of licence
Thanking you in advance.
Kind regards
Emma Inglis

Dear Ms Inglis
Thank you for your request submitted under the Freedom of Information Act.
Further to our partial response of 12/01/2018, our completed response is
attached.
We have not provided the addresses as requested for the Private Hire
Operators as the Borough of Poole considers this to be personal
information and is therefore exempt under Section 40 of the Freedom of
Information Act. You may request a review of this decision, in writing and
using this mailbox [1][Poole Borough Council request email] .
Kind regards
