During 2020 we commissioned an Unmet Demand Survey to ascertain if there was any unmet demand for Hackney Carriages.

This is a three-yearly requirement, should Torbay Council wish to retain a restricted number of Hackney Carriages. The decision following this report is that we licence 169 Hackney Carriages from 1 May to 30 April.
