Report of the Corporate Director Environment, Communities and Leisure.

Consideration was given to a report of the Corporate Director of Environment, Communities and Leisure, which had been circulated in advance of the meeting, regarding a change of circumstances following information received about the holder of a Joint Hackney Carriage/ Private Hire Driver’s Licence.

 

ALB attended the meeting and addressed the Committee.

 

In making the decision the Committee applied the Council’s approved Policy and Guidelines and determined that exceptional circumstances existed to warrant departure from them.

 

RESOLVED to:

 

Issue a warning to ALB that such conduct fell short of the expected standard for Hackney Carriage Drivers and that further such incidents would result in another appearance before the Committee.
