This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition to stop cross boroughs pick ups in Liverpool taxis
to put a stop on other taxis from out of the city coming in and picking up fares
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The Government is responsible for setting the overall framework for the licensing of taxis and private hire vehicles, but licensing is a matter for individual local authorities.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to require taxis and private hire vehicles to be licensed by a local authority in order to be able to pick up fares in that local authority, which restrict the ability of taxis and private hire vehicles licences by other authorities from operating in other areas.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
