Private hire and hackney carriage licences

We are proud of Uttlesford District Council's reputation as a safe and rural district which includes the provision of licensed vehicles which are valued by residents, businesses and visitors. It is important that our licensees operate lawfully and sensitively, taking account of the needs of the customers but also the wellbeing of nearby residents, and people enjoying other activities.

We recognise the important role that hackney carriage and private hire vehicles play in enabling people to travel around the district, in doing so they also have a role in representing the image of our district.
