Agenda and minutes

Apologies for absence were received by Councillor Sam Smith.

RESOLVED:

None.

Report of the Litigation and Licensing Solicitor.

The Litigation and Licensing Solicitor introduced a report, which had been circulated in advance of the meeting, informing members of a successful health and safety prosecution following an incident at P.S Marsden (Lawnmower Services).

RESOLVED:

To note the information.

None.

To move that under Section 100(A)(4) of the Local Government Act 1972 the public and press be excluded from the meeting during consideration of the ensuing report on the grounds that the report involves the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in Paragraph 7 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972.

RESOLVED:

That, the Members being satisfied that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information that under Section 100(A)(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, the public and press be excluded from the meeting during the consideration of the ensuing reports on the grounds that the report involves the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in Paragraph 7 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972.

Consideration was given to a report of Head of Environment, which had been circulated prior to the meeting, regarding an application for a three year joint Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence for TZ.

TZ attended the meeting and he addressed the Committee.

In making the decision the Committee applied the Council’s approved Policy and Guidelines.

RESOLVED to:

Approve TZ’s application but for a one year Joint Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence as opposed to a three-year one, and requested that TZ returns his expired Private Hire Vehicle plate, before the license is issued.
