Agenda and minutes

Apologies for absence were received from Councillor Sam Smith.

RESOLVED:

That the minutes of the above meeting, having been circulated, be approved as a correct record.

None.

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 reports on the grounds that the reports involve 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 reports involve 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 which gave information about a recently decided appeal against the revocation of a license.

RESOLVED:

To note the information.

Consideration was given to a report of the Corporate Director of Environment, Communities and Leisure, which had been circulated prior to the meeting, regarding an application for a one year joint Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence for MN.

MN did not attend the meeting so members agreed to defer the decision of the application to the next available committee.

MN arrived and as all members were still present in the chamber it was agreed by the members to re-convene the meeting and consider MN’s application.

MN addressed the Committee.

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

RESOLVED to:

Approve MN’s application for a one year Joint Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver’s Licence.
