Article summary

The Local Government Association (LGA) has published a briefing on the Taxi and Private Hire Vehicle (Safeguarding and Road Safety) Act 2022 (TPHV(SRS)A 2022) that covers the background to the Act, its main provisions, practical steps that can be taken by councils in preparation for the Act and the LGA’s influence. The LGA has said that the main purpose of the Act is to improve intelligence sharing, as well as address issues associated with out-of-area drivers to councils which issued their license, and introduces several new duties that fall into two principal areas: the duty to report concerns about out-of-area drivers and to record licensing decisions in a central database.
