This consultation is about the issuing of taxi licenses. Each Local Authority (council) has responsible for issuing taxi licenses. Every council also has its own set of vehicle standards and one of these covers the age of a vehicle.  

North Tyneside has an approved plan to introduce new vehicle age standards in 2024 but since this was approved, Newcastle and Gateshead have introduce a Clean Air Zone with different vehicle standards to ours.

We would like to hear from residents who live in the North West of the borough - Longbenton, Camperdown and Weetslade Wards (see a link to the ward map below).  We'd like to know about any volunteering opportunities and community groups in your area and whether they are meeting your needs, are in need of support or whether you require something different.  You can complete the survey here: CLICK HERE
