Change of circumstance of Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Drivers Licence - MW

Report of Corporate Director - David Wakelin

Minutes:

Consideration was given to a report from Corporate Director, David Wakelin, regarding a change of circumstance of a Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence from MW.

 

MW attended the meeting, accompanied by his wife who addressed the Committee on his behalf.

 

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 this policy.

 

RESOLVED:

 

To revoke MW’s Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence without immediate effect, on the grounds that he is no longer considered a fit and proper person and to give MW 21 days to surrender his licence.

 

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