You asked
Dear TFL,
Thank you for providing weekly snapshots of licensing information at: https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/taxis-and-private-hire/licensing/licensing-information
What I was wondering is if you could compile the weekly data you have been putting on the website since 1st Jan 2023 (start of year) under the "Licenses Issued" section onto an excel file or anything that has the data on (even a screenshot, a word file or text file with the exact wording on the website each week). The reason is the website only has last week's data and I was hoping to get each week's data since the start of the year.
Just for clarity, the data would be the weekly data for:
Taxi driver licences - TOTAL#, INCREASE# ON PREVIOUS WEEK & NEW LICENSES ISSUED IN WEEK#
Taxi vehicle licences - TOTAL#, INCREASE# ON PREVIOUS WEEK & NEW LICENSES ISSUED IN WEEK#
Private hire driver licences - TOTAL#, INCREASE# ON PREVIOUS WEEK & NEW LICENSES ISSUED IN WEEK#
Private hire vehicle licences - TOTAL#, INCREASE# ON PREVIOUS WEEK & NEW LICENSES ISSUED IN WEEK#
Private hire operator licences - TOTAL#, INCREASE# ON PREVIOUS WEEK & NEW LICENSES ISSUED IN WEEK#
