Change of Circumstance of Joint Hackney Carriage / Private Hire Drivers Licence - MZ
Report of Director of Health & Community Wellbeing - David Wakelin
Minutes:
Consideration was given to a report by Director of Health and Community Wellbeing, which had been circulated prior to the meeting, regarding an application for a change of circumstances of Joint Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence for MZ.
MZ 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 exceptional circumstances existed which warranted departure from policy.
RESOLVED:
To suspend the Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence held by MZ for a period 28 days, without immediate effect and to give MZ 21 days to surrender his licence. And issued with a warning to have the passenger doors of his licenced vehicle locked whilst stationary to prevent unauthorised persons entering the vehicle.
MZ was advised of his right to appeal against the decision of the Committee.
