Will you be giving your views in the consultation?
Taxi fares in Watford could rise for the first time since 2017 after a consultation was launched.
The maximum cost of a journey from Watford is fixed by law, and changing it requires a borough council review and consultation. At the request of the Watford Hackney Carriage Drivers’ Association, the council has put two surveys online, one for drivers and one for passengers.Licensing committee chair, councillor Richard Wenham, said: “The council recognises the significant impact that the cost-of-living crisis is having on individuals and families, which prompted us to declare a state of emergency on this issue.
“However, we also acknowledge that the taxi industry and its drivers are similarly affected by this crisis.” One of the options is to raise fares in line with inflation over the six years since the tariff was last reviewed, which would mean a 19% rise.
