Minibus permits can be issued to voluntary and non-profit making groups that are related to:

• religion

• education

• recreation

• social welfare

• other activities of benefit to the borough

These permits are also known as section 19 permits, and can allow the use of a minibus with between nine and 16 passenger seats for hire.

We can issue the permit under certain conditions, and at times without the need for the driver to hold a Public Service Vehicle (PSV) operator licence.
