Meeting: 08/12/2015 - Environment and Licensing Committee (Item 298)

Change of Circumstance of Joint Hackney Carriage Driver - RI

Report of Corporate Director - David Wakelin

Minutes:

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

 

RI attended the meeting, and 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 RI’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 RI 21 days to surrender his licence.

 

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