There are currently five vacancies on the Taxi Advisory Committee (TAC), four of which are vacant since 31st July 2015, when the term of office of the membership of the last TAC expired. 

I am currently reviewing these appointments and will be making an announcement shortly. The fifth vacancy arose on 19th September 2016 with the resignation of the Local Authority representative on the Committee, arising from his move to another area of responsibility. I have recently approved the filling of this position.
