The Committee gave consideration to a report which outlined proposals to create two new Hackney Carriage Stands, and on the proposed re-confirmation of two existing Stands.  Following a review of all Hackney Carriage Stands in the district, the Council had been approached by the Police Authority to look at introducing an additional Hackney Carriage Stand in the Town area to help reduce crime and disorder during the evenings, as well as enhancing current taxi rank provision.

RESOLVED:

(a)       that the creation of a new Hackney Carriage Stand at Worcester Road, Bromsgrove, as set out in the report, be approved;

(b)       that the creation of a new Hackney Carriage Stand at New Road Service Road, Rubery, as set out in the report, be approved;

(c)        that the re-confirmation of an existing Stand at The Strand, Bromsgrove, as set out in the report, be approved; and

(d)       that the re-confirmation of an existing Stand at Market Street Bus Station, Bromsgrove, as set out in the report, be approved; with all Stands being subject to the necessary amendments being made to Traffic Regulation Orders.
