To consider an application for a Hackney Carriage Driver Licence.

The Sub-Committee considered a report regarding the future of a Hackney Carriage Driver 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 the future of the Hackney Carriage Driver Licence. 

The licence holder attended the hearing with his Solicitor 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 of the evidence, including the licence holder’s oral representations, the following course of action had been agreed.

RESOLVED - The Sub-Committee considered the evidence and took into account the representations made. The Sub-Committee determined that the licence holder continued to be a fit and proper person to hold a hackney carriage drivers licence. The Sub-Committee therefore resolved to take no action in relation to the future of the licence.

The Sub-Committee wished to emphasise the importance of reporting convictions to the Licensing Section.
