Report of Director of Community Health and Wellbeing

Minutes:

Consideration was given to a report by Director of Health and Community Wellbeing, which had been circulated prior to the meeting, regarding a renewal application for a Joint Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence for ST.

 

ST 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 no exceptional circumstances existed which warranted departure from policy.

 

RESOLVED:

 

To approve ST’s renewal application for a Joint Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence for 1 year and issue with a warning to inform the Council of any pending or actual convictions.

 

To suspend ST’s Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence for 28 days without immediate effect and to give ST 21 days to surrender his licence.

 

ST was advised of his right to appeal against the decision of the Committee.
