Issue - meetings

The Committee received a report from the Environmental Health Manager regarding changes to current window tint requirements in both hackney carriage vehicles and private hire vehicles.

In response to a Member’s questions the Environmental Health Manager said the following:

      i.         All hackney carriage and private hire vehicles would have to have CCTV from 1 September 2023. Where CCTV was installed in accordance with the Council’s CCTV specification, that vehicle would be exempt from rear passenger window tint requirements. 

The Committee:

Resolved (unanimously) that:

      i.         Vehicles installed with CCTV (meeting/exceeding Cambridge City Council specification), are exempt from council rear passenger window tint requirements.

    ii.         Vehicles with no CCTV installed within vehicle must have rear passenger windows which do not have more than the maximum tint of 70%, and must let through a minimum of 30% light.

   iii.         Only vehicles with manufactured tinted windows, meeting above standard will be approved to be licensed (in absence of CCTV).

  iv.         Film tinted windows will not be approved to be licensed.

    v.         Front windscreen and Front passenger and driver windows to meet national legal requirement.
