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.

 

SAA attended the meeting and addressed the Committee.

 

In making the decision the Committee applied the Council’s approved Policy and Guidelines.

 

RESOLVED to:

 

1)    Suspend SAA licence for 14 days; and

 

2)    Issue a warning to SAA 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.

 

SAA was given 21 days to surrender his licence and was advised of his right to appeal against the decision of the Committee.
