Issue - meetings

The Committee considered a report from Corporate Director, David Wakelin for a change of circumstance of Joint Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence for AA.

AA attended the meeting with a friend 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 suspend the Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence held by AA for a period 56 days, without immediate effect and to give AA 21 days to surrender his licence.

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