Oxford residents invited to share views on taxi availability


The public has been invited to share their views on the availability and choice of taxis in Oxford.

The city council is seeking opinions on its taxi and black cab quantity control policy, which is a statutory requirement.

There are currently 107 licenses for these vehicles, also known as Hackney Carriage Vehicles, in Oxford. They can be flagged down on the street or hired from a taxi rank without a booking.

Councillor Louise Upton, cabinet member for planning, said: "Black cabs offer people flexibility and ease of movement around the city, so we want to make sure our current policy works for everyone. Please do take the time to submit feedback."

The consultation, which will run from today (September 4) until November 27 and is available on the city council's website, aims to gather insights from residents, visitors, and other stakeholders about the availability of taxis and choice when travelling within the city.

The council said it hopes to understand what benefits or disadvantages arise for travellers as a result of the continuation of Hackney Carriage Vehicle quantity controls, as well as the potential consequences of removing the quantity controls.

It is also looking to see if there is any evidence to suggest removing the quantity controls would lower the quality or amount of taxi service provision.

Opinions as opposed to a survey that will include opinions?
