Minutes:
The Sub-Committee considered a report regarding the future of a Hackney Carriage Driver and Vehicle 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 should be granted.
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 of the evidence, the following course of action had been agreed.
RESOLVED – The Committee determined that there was not sufficient grounds in the case to depart from its policy and therefore it did not feel that it was appropriate to disapply the condition in relation to tinted windows. The Committee also determined to suspend the hackney carriage vehicle licence under section 60(1) of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976 until such time as the films were removed and the vehicle presented for inspection by an authorised officer of the Council.
The Licence Holder was reminded of the right to appeal the decision to the Magistrates Court within 21 days.
