Minutes:
Consideration was given to a report of the Director of Environment Communities and Leisure, which had been circulated in advance of the meeting, regarding a change of circumstances following information received about the holder of a Joint Hackney Carriage/ Private Hire Driver’s Licence.
AK attended the meeting along with a family member and they both addressed the Committee.
In making the decision the Committee applied the Council’s approved Policy and Guidelines.
RESOLVED to:
1) Suspend AK’s licence for 60 days with immediate effect; and
2) Issue a warning to AK that such conduct fell short of the expected standard for Hackney Carriage Drivers and that further such incidents would result in another appearance before the Committee.
AK was given until 12 pm on the following day to surrender his Hackney Carriage/Private Hire vehicle plates and was advised of his right of appeal against the decision of the Committee.
