Licence Hearing - Taxi

Report of the Head of Legal & Democratic Services enclosed.

Minutes:

The Sub-committee received a report from the Head of Legal and Democratic Services informing them of an application for a private hire driver’s licence and requesting that the Sub-committee determine whether the applicant was a fit and proper person to hold such a licence.

 

The applicant attended the hearing along with a representative. The representative made verbal submissions to the Committee and asked the applicant to confirm further details and the circumstances in relation to the offences which had been recorded. The applicant also responded to questions by the Sub-committee.

 

The Sub-committee, having taken account of all the submissions, a character reference, the provisions of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976, and the Council’s Statement of Policy and Guidelines on Relevant Convictions, concluded that the applicant was not a fit and proper person and that a licence should not be granted.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the private hire driver’s licence application be refused.
