DfI/2019-0140: FOI Request for information on Taxi and Private Hire Operators currently licensed to operate in Northern Ireland

I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request an up-to-date list of all Taxi and Private Hire Operators currently licensed to operate in your area. I have already tried Belfast City council who have directed me to you as the relevant authority.

Please provide the information in Excel format and please include the following information:

1. Licensee name;
2. Trading name;
3. License expiry date;
4. Business operating address including post code;
5. Business landline telephone number for bookings. Please state if app-based only and no telephone number is available for bookings;
6. Business email address for booking requests;
7. Number of vehicles/drivers registered to each operator

Items 4, 5 & 6 above, do not constitute exempt information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 Section 40(2) (personal information) insofar as they relate to the trading, or “shop front” of the businesses.

If it is not possible to provide the information requested due to the information exceeding the cost of compliance limits identified in Section 12, please let me know how I can refine my request.
