Minutes:

Consideration was given to a report of the Director of Place, 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.

 

AUH attended the meeting along with a friend who interpreted and addressed the Committee on AUH’s behalf.

 

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

 

RESOLVED to:

 

1)    Suspend AUH licence for 28 days.

 

2)    Give AUH 21 days to surrender his licence; and

 

3)    Issue a warning to AUH 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.

 

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