Taxi and private hire licences
Information for drivers and operators
The Brexit transition period ended on the 31 December 2020. This means that from 1 January 2021, the UK will have a new points-based immigration system that will impact how we are able to grant licenses.
If you are an EU citizen you must apply to the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS), before 30 June 2021. Hastings Borough Council value all our licensed drivers and we want our EU drivers, to remain working in our borough.
New Statutory Taxi and Private Hire Vehicle Standards
These new standards mean that changes will need to be made to the Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Licensing Policy soon and we will being going out to Public consultation with a new Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Licensing Policy in the near future.
