Taxi Licensing - Information for trade

Taxi Licensing legislation

There are two main Acts, which cover Hackney Carriage and Private Hire:

  • Town Police Clauses Act 1847
  • Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976

Both of these Acts are obtainable from Her Majesty's Stationery Office (HMSO). The main central library in Coventry also holds a copy of the Town Police Clauses Act 1847 together with Coventry City Council's by-laws, which gives additions to this Act.
