Request
I would be grateful if you could provide an updated list of currently licensed private hire operators within your authority, including where available:
- Operator trading name and registered company name
- Registered office or operating base address
- Contact telephone number and email address
- Number of licensed vehicles
Specifically, if possible, I'd be grateful for: Operator trading name and registered company name Operating base address Contact telephone number and email address Number of vehicles operating under each licence, if held I understand much of this information may already be available via your public register.
If a current copy of the register can be sent directly, or if you can point me to the most up to date version, that would be very helpful and would save your team's time.
Response
The information you have sought is set out in the attachment below. Where the licensed operator is running their business from their personal address, rather than an official business address, this data has been withheld as it is considered personal data and therefore exempt from disclosure under Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act. Personal data is defined by Article 4(1) of GDPR and also Section 3 of the Data Protection Act 2018 and the release of this data would contravene the data protection principles.
