Rejected petition Fewer Private-Hire Badges in England

More details

There are too many private hire licences being issued by local councils.There is not enough work to warrent the amount of licences being issued. Drivers are being forced to work unreasonable hours to make ends meet. Licences need to be capped to a sensible level as Hackney cab licences are.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

This is a matter for individual local authorities (or does the petitioner wish to call on central government to limit the freedom of local authorities to issue licences?).

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
