PUBLIC NOTICE

LOCAL GOVERNMENT
(MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS) ACT 1976
PROPOSED CHANGES TO TAXI RANK

NOTICE is hereby given that the Stevenage Borough Council, in exercise of its powers under Sections 63 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976, proposes to remove the taxi rank at the Lister Hospital and adopt another rank in the vicinity as noted below:

Revocation – Full Time Rank (Comprising of approx. 5 Bays)
Lister Hospital, Coreys Mill Lane, Stevenage.

This proposal is due to the reconfiguration of the Lister Hospital bus terminal; the existing taxi rank will need to be relocated as the new bus terminal layout will utilise the current taxi rank area, making it unsuitable to retain the rank in its present position.

Adoption – Full Time Rank (Comprising of approx. 4 Bays)
Lister Hospital, Coreys Mill Lane, Stevenage

This new taxi rank will replace the existing rank being revoked as part of the reconfiguration of the Lister Hospital bus terminal. The new location is situated just a short distance from the previous site, positioned adjacent to a footway to maintain direct pedestrian links to the hospital.

The revised location also provides an improved layout, allowing taxi users to be picked up and dropped off without crossing through the bus terminal, thereby reducing potential conflicts between taxis and bus movements and improving overall safety and accessibility.

A copy of this notice will be available for inspection at the Council Offices during public opening hours. A plan of the works to be carried out are available at:

Any person wishing to comment or make objections regarding this proposal should do so in writing to: licensing@stevenage.gov.uk

Alternatively, correspondence can be sent to:
The Licensing Manager, Stevenage Borough Council, Daneshill House, Danestrete, Stevenage, SG1 1HN, no later than 10th November 2025.
