Brighton has renewed Uber<\/a>'s licence to operate for another six months as it awaits the outcome of the firm's battle to keep hold of its licence in the capital.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Brighton and Hove City Council announced the decision today after a meeting earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

It said the decision was taken to allow it to monitor the outcome of the Transport for London<\/a> (TfL) Uber decision, and consider whether any of the information arising from the case had direct implications for the operation in the city.<\/p>\n

The council said: <\/p>\n

\n

While there was no evidence to suggest that public safety had been compromised, there are a number of concerns, and Uber are working with the council to address these and reassure residents and visitors about their safety.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There are far fewer Uber drivers operating in Brighton than London: around 40, while there are some 40,000 in the capital.<\/p>\n

The council said a decision on the process to look at the licence at the end of the six month period will be taken in the new year.<\/p>\n

Fred Jones, head of cities at Uber, said:<\/p>\n

\n

We\u2019re delighted people in Brighton and Hove can continue to use Uber. More choice and competition is good for consumers as it raises service levels across the board.<\/p>\n

Uber has been embraced in Brighton with around 10,000 riders using the app in the city every week. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Last month, Uber announced it had appointed Laurel Powers-Freeling<\/a> as its new independent non-executive chair in the UK, as it seeks to defend its right to operate in London.<\/p>\n

Transport for London (TfL) opted not to renew Uber's private hire licence for operating in the capital in September<\/a>, saying Uber was "not fit and proper to hold a private hire operator licence". <\/p>\n

Talks have since been held between the transport body and the company to try and address TfL's concerns, with Uber boss Dara Khosrowshahi jetting to London for the discussions<\/a>. <\/p>\n

And last month, Uber launched its appeal against the loss of its London licence<\/a>, adding that it hoped to "continue having constructive discussions with Transport for London", which could resolve the situation without the need for the case to go to court.<\/p>\n

Uber's drivers in the capital can continue to operate there until the appeals process is exhausted, which could take years.<\/p>\n
