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 MMS.
MMS attended the meeting along with a friend 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 no exceptional circumstances existed which warranted departure from policy.
RESOLVED:
To suspend the Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence held by MMS for 56 days without immediate effect and to give MMS 21 days to surrender his licence.
MMS was advised of his right to appeal against the decision of the Committee.
