Taxi Ranks

The Council can appoint taxi ranks or stances in any road within its area, on any land which it may own or, with the consent of the owner, on any land owned by him. The Council can also alter the number of taxis permitted to be at each stance and alter the position of such stances or revoke their appointment. The Council is required to consult persons or organisations appearing to represent taxi operators.

Before appointing a stance or altering the number of taxis permitted to use it, the Council must also consult Police Scotland and give public notice of its proposals, stating that it shall take into account any representations submitted in writing within a period of 28 days from the date of first publication of the notice.

The Council also consults its Roads Support Team on any proposals.
