THE public has been asked to have its say on proposals to introduce a policy for taxi licences.
Barrow Borough Council is asking residents to consult on plans for a new policy document to be used when making decisions on licence application.
The council said: "The council recognises both the needs of residents and the public at large to have access to safe, convenient and effective taxi services and the importance of this provision to the taxi trade and local economy.
"This document sets out the policy that the Council will apply when making decisions about new applications and licences currently in force. The policy sets out the normal requirements and standards that must be met."
A copy of the draft policy is available on the council website and comments can be sent by email to commercial@barrowbc.gov.uk by January 19.
