Explanatory note

These By-Laws revoke and replace with amendments By-Law 9 of and the Schedule to the Motor Hackney Carriages (Belfast) By-Laws made by the Council of the County Borough of Belfast on 4th June 1951.

The amendments are as follows—

By-Law 9 now makes reference to the hours available for the use of taxi stands by taxis, and prohibits the waiting by a vehicle (other than a licensed taxi) on taxi stands during these hours.

The new Schedule makes provision for new taxi stands at Fisherwick Place, Great Victoria Street and Bradbury Place. The existing stands on the west and east side of Malone Road have been relocated and the number of spaces on the west side increased from two to four. The existing stand at Oxford Street has been removed.

The Motor Hackney Carriages (Belfast) (Amendment No. 3) By-Laws (Northern Ireland) 1996 are revoked as a consequence of these By-Laws.
