Change of Circumstance of Hackney Carriage / Private Hire Driver (MTAK)
Report of the Director for Health &
Community Wellbeing - David Wakelin
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 a Joint Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence for MTAK.
MTAK attended the meeting and 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 MTAK for 56 days without immediate effect and to give MTAK 21 days to surrender his licence and issue with the following warnings:
1) To ensure all terms and conditions of his licence are read
2) To renew future applications in a reasonable amount of time before his driver’s licence expires
3) Notify the Council of any pending or actual convictions
MTAK was advised of his right to appeal against the decision of the Committee.
