Residents are invited to have their say on a new licensing policy for taxi and private hire vehicles in Peterborough.

The council has today launched a public consultation on the draft Taxi and Private Hire Policy 2026–2031. The consultation runs until 18 December and we urge members of the public as well as taxi drivers, operators and other stakeholders to comment.

The policy is intended to strengthen public safety, improve regulatory oversight and ensure that licensed operators and vehicles continue to meet appropriate standards.

A rectangular blue sign with a white border reads "Taxis" in large white sans-serif lettering, mounted on a dark metal post against a blue sky.

Below, a teal banner features a green border and a white megaphone icon. White text reads: "Have your say on taxi licensing in Peterborough. Share your views on Peterborough’s draft taxi and private hire policy by 18 December."

A temporary closure of part of the river Nene in Peterborough will start later this month to enable the safe construction of Cygnet Bridge.

Restrictions will be in place from Monday 16 November until Thursday 24 December, preventing river navigation approximately 100 metres upstream and downstream of the bridge construction site.

To help minimise disruption, the closure will be in place during times when construction is being carried out (between 7am - 6pm weekdays and some weekends) and where possible, the river will be re-opened to traffic.

Part of the River Nene will close temporarily for Cygnet Bridge construction." A white megaphone icon inside a green circle is on the left of the text.
