Have your say - CCTV in private hire vehicles

South Derbyshire District Council is consulting on the issue of CCTV in private hire vehicles following the Department for Transport's (DfT) 'Statutory Taxi & Private Hire Vehicle Licensing Standards' published on 21 July 2020.

Hilton Parish Council has said Yes!

A consultation was carried out in 2021 and 2022 and a decision was made by SDDC to monitor the need on an annual basis. Your views are therefore sought on whether it should be mandatory for private hire vehicles to have CCTV installed. It will help SDDC make a decision on whether CCTV in vehicles would have either a positive or adverse effect on the safety of private hire vehicle users, children or vulnerable adults taking into account potential privacy issues.

Please follow the link to complete the questionnaire. Comments can be made until 20 September 2024.
