Recommendation 33
33
Many licensing authorities lack the resources and capacity to carry out effective enforcement.
Conclusion
Many licensing authorities lack the resources and capacity to carry out effective enforcement. Enforcement officers are not able to take action against all taxi and private hire activity in their area. Cooperation between licensing authorities can be a positive step in the right direction, but ad-hoc local agreements do not provide effective enforcement on a national scale. (Conclusion, Paragraph 120)
