Southend-on-Sea City Council has approved Uber Britannia Limited's application for a five-year Private Hire Vehicle Operator’s Licence.

All Uber drivers must be licensed by the local authority and meet the same standards as other private hire drivers, including passing the Southend knowledge test, completing safeguarding training, undergoing DBS checks, and meeting medical fitness standards. Licensed drivers must also display Southend-issued private hire vehicle door stickers.

The move means Uber will be able to operate inside of Southend for the first time since their license was revoked back in 2018.
