cross border hiring to start or finish in own licenced area

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

we have cars from all over the country working in towns that they arent licensed from and the local councils dont have any power like they do over there own licensed vehicles this makes it hard for individual councils to enforce

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

You could start a new petition asking for the law to be changed to require taxis and/ or private hire vehicles to start or finish their journeys in their local licensing authority area, if that's what you want to happen.
