Report of Director of Place.

Additional documents:

Minutes:

Consideration was given to a report of the Director of Place which had been circulated prior to the meeting, regarding an application for a one year joint Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence for JS.

 

JS attended the meeting and he addressed the Committee.

 

In making its decision, the Committee found that there were exceptional mitigating circumstances which allowed for departure from the Council’s approved Policy and Guidelines.

 

RESOLVED to:

 

1)    Approve JS’s application for a one year Joint Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence; and

 

2)    Issue a warning to the applicant that such conduct fell short of the expected standard for Hackney Carriage Drivers and advised that they re-read the license policy.
