The York Council will be responding this week to a proposal that (nationally) there would be no restriction on the number of taxi licenses that could be issued. The so called “deregulation” is one of the proposals of a Law Commission report which is currently subject to consultation.
There is a concern that deregulation could lead to overcrowding at City centre taxi ranks.
