That section 171(4) of the Public Health Act 1875 be applied throughout the District of Babergh to create a single controlled Zone for Hackney Carriage purposes, and that the Head of Natural and Built Environment be authorised to seek Secretary of State approval thereto in the terms set out in Appendix 2 of Paper H97.
