Southampton City Council (SCC) Licensing Department are holding a public meeting on Wednesday 14th June 2023 with regards to the contentious issue of Door Stickers on Southampton licensed vehicles.

Our association was set up in 2001 to help to promote Southampton Hackney Taxi drivers in our City?
We are interested in promoting the Hackney Carriage trade and in growing our membership.
