The City of Edinburgh Council, as a Licensing Authority, is required to appoint taxi stances in line with the provisions of S.19 (1) of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 (‘the 1982 Act’).
The powers available to licensing authorities to provide taxi stances in their respective areas can be exercised provided that they obtain the necessary prior consents (including that of the roads authority); consult the appropriate trade organisations and other representatives; give notice to the Police and the public; and that they do not obstruct access to any premises.
This consultation was retracted on Friday 31 January 2020 due to the discovery of an error. A corrected version was published on 5 Feb 2020.
