Change of circumstances for Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Licence AA
Report of Head of Environment
Minutes:
Consideration was given to a report of the Head of Environment, 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.
AA attended the meeting and addressed the Committee.
In making its decision, the Committee found that there were exceptional mitigating circumstances surrounding the offences which allowed for departure from the Council’s approved Policy and Guidelines.
RESOLVED to:
1) To suspend AA’s licence for 21 days; and
2) Issue a warning to AA 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.
AA was given 21 days to surrender his licence.
