Taxis can only ply for hire (pick up passengers at taxi ranks or be hailed in the street) in the area in which they are licensed, but pre-booked work by PHVs and taxis can be undertaken anywhere.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Transport does not hold any information about the number and proportion of PHV drivers operating in the Harlow area but licensed by other licensing authorities. As of 1 April 2023, there were 346,300 licensed taxi and PHV drivers in England, of which 264 were licensed by Harlow Council.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wakefield and Rothwell answering member printed Simon Lightwood question first answered 26/07/2024 12:52:07 answering member 4943 label Biography information for Simon Lightwood
