Change of circumstances of Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver - IY
Report of the Director of Health and Community Wellbeing
Minutes:
Consideration was given to a report by Director of Health and Community Wellbeing, which had been circulated prior to the meeting, regarding an application for a change of circumstances of Joint Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence for IY.
IY attended the meeting with his cousin and both addressed the Committee.
In making its decision, the Committee applied the Council’s approved Policy and Guidelines. On the basis of what it heard, the Committee was satisfied on balance that exceptional circumstances existed which warranted departure from policy.
RESOLVED:
To suspend the Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence held by IY for 56 days with a warning, without immediate effect and to give IY 21 days to surrender his licence.
IY was advised of his right to appeal against the decision of the Committee.
