Ashfield District Council requires all taxi and private hire drivers to meet the appropriate medical fitness standards when applying for or renewing their licence. These standards are in place to ensure the safety of drivers, passengers, and other road users.

We understand that your time is valuable. That’s why our service is designed to be straightforward, affordable, and efficient so you can complete your medical without unnecessary delays.
