I am endeavoring to try and establish some numbers on, 1. How many licensed taxis & private hire vehicles are there within your council district? 1. How many ad-hoc spot checks by licensing officers have been carried out on licensed vehicles in the past 12 months? (Not to include MOT checks, just roadside/spot checks) 1. Out of the checked licensed vehicles, how many failed at the roadside? 2. Are there any current requirements for drivers to do regular vehicle checks (daily/weekly) and store data for inspection? What I am trying to ascertain, is if there is a possibility to develop a new product that would enhance the industry to make it safer. Working with a small IT team we are trying to develop a new driver reporting app, that requires the driver of each licensed vehicle to do a regular vehicle check (daily, weekly or monthly, to be decided by individual councils). The information we are seeking would greatly help us to understand more about how each council manages the safety of licensed taxi & private hire vehicles and how we may be able to help improve the services. Could I make an official request for the information as outlined above?
