The Executive Board received a report from the Strategic Director – Enterprise, Community and Resources, recommending that they approve the creation of two additional Hackney Carriage stands near Runcorn Station as part of the Runcorn Station Quarter Project.

Members were referred to Appendices one and two, which showed the location of the proposed northerly and southerly stands in Shaw Street, Runcorn.  It was noted that these proposed stands would replace the current private rank at Runcorn Station; would be public ranks; and shall be open 24 hours per day.  Further, the proposals were recommended by the Regulatory Committee at its meeting on 2 September 2020 and had been the subject of a consultation exercise with the Taxi consultative Group and with the Council’s Highways Section.

RESOLVED:  That the Board

1)    approves the proposals relating to the creation of two additional Hackney Carriage stands near Runcorn Station;

2)    authorises the Operational Director – Legal and Democratic Services, to fulfil all procedural requirements in accordance with Section 63 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976 and to make the taxi stands Order accordingly, unless there were any objections received; and

3)    agrees that in the event of any objections being received, the matter be brought back to the Executive Board.
