Minutes:

Consideration was given to a report from Corporate Director, David Wakelin, regarding a complaint from Community Enforcement Officer regarding an incident on 8th August 2015 of a Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence No. 934.

 

The Community Enforcement Officer and SK attended the meeting and both addressed the Committee.

 

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 SK’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 SK 21 days to surrender his licence.

 

SK was advised of his right to appeal against the decision of the Committee
