11-12/05 - Application for a Joint Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Driver Licence To consider whether the applicant is a ‘fit and proper person’ to be granted a Joint Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver Licence. Minutes: The Sub-Committee considered a report regarding an application for a Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence.
The Sub-Committee was informed that the application fell within the Council’s policy for determination by the Sub-Committee. Accordingly the hearing had been convened to enable the Sub-Committee to determine whether the application for a Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence should be granted.
The applicant attended the hearing and made representations in respect of his application.
After a full hearing of the application, and in accordance with the rules of procedure, the Chairman of the Sub-Committee reported that, after taking account of all the evidence, including the applicant’s oral representations, the following course of action had been agreed.
RESOLVED –
The Sub-Committee determined that the applicant was a fit and proper person to hold a hackney carriage/private hire drivers licence and therefore granted the application for a three year licence subject to the successful completion of the Council’s hackney carriage/private hire theory test.
The Sub-Committee wished to emphasise that the role of taxi driver was one which involved a position of responsibility for the safety of the public. Therefore it was of great importance that taxi drivers followed the rules, both of the criminal law and also the conditions attached to the licence. The Sub-Committee would take a serious view of any breach of the conditions or any future convictions. The applicant was reminded that the conditions attached to the licence require the applicant to promptly report any convictions received to the Licensing Section. |
