FOI request detail

TPH licences

Request ID: FOI-1113-1718
Date published: 12 October 2017

You asked

Private Hire Drivers, Vehicle Proprietors and Operators, and Hackney Carriage Drivers and Vehicle Proprietors are licensed by your authority, and the licenses held are a matter of public record. Please can you help me to identify where in your public records I can access the details of each license, including the addresses for each? It would be much simpler for me if you could extract a list of current and past license holders and supply them in an Excel spreadsheet. If this is not possible, please direct me to where I can access the required information. I understand you may need to redact personal names of any license holder. For convenience, please supply the information electronically as an email attachment to my email, but if this is not possible, please send a CD-ROM or Memory Stick containing the data to my address, which I shall provide if that is necessary
