Request
I would like to request details of all private hire vehicles and hackney carriages currently licensed by your council. Specifically, I request that the following information be provided in an Excel spreadsheet: Licence number Vehicle registration number Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), if available Vehicle make Vehicle model Licence type Licence start date Licence end date Colour If any part of this information is not available, I kindly ask that you still provide the other available details.
Response
The information you have sought is attached. Following a review of how the Council deals with requests for this type of information, we no longer provide vehicle registration numbers as this information is considered to be personal data and therefore exempt from disclosure under Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act. In making this decision, the Council has taken into consideration a decision notice issued by the Information Commissioner in relation to a request for this information in respect of another local authority. The decision notice can be found here: https://ico.org.uk/media/action-weve-taken/decision-notices/2019/2614512/fs50793373.pdf
