A Greater Manchester campaign seeks local taxi licensing to improve safety and fairness amid rising out-of-area drivers.
A campaign in Greater Manchester is pushing for reforms to private hire taxi licensing, aiming to close a loophole allowing drivers licensed outside the region to operate within it.
Nearly half of all PHVs in the area are now licensed elsewhere, up from less than 0.5% a decade ago, raising concerns about safety, local control, and fair competition.
Local leaders, including MP Elsie Blundell and Mayor Andy Burnham, support a "licence where you operate" model to give regional authorities more oversight.
While the government has introduced national minimum standards, they don’t address out-of-area licensing.
The campaign argues that local licensing ensures safer, more trustworthy services and supports local drivers.
