Subject Matter

7(E)
Applicant for Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Drivers Licence
Paragraph 4
Applicant for Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Drivers Licence
Minutes:
The Corporate Director, Environmental Services, submitted a report regarding an application for a Hackney Carriage / Private Hire Driver’s Licence.
The purpose of the report was to determine if the applicant was a “Fit and Proper” person to hold a Hackney Carriage / Private Hire Driver’s Licence.
The driver was in attendance and made his submission.
With the agreement of the Chair, the applicant circulated further information for Members to consider. The Committee were given the opportunity to read the information.
Councillor Street proposed a motion to approve the application, which was seconded by Councillor Dowling.
RESOLVED (unanimously) that the applicant is a “Fit and Proper Person” to hold a Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Vehicle Driver’s Licence and therefore issue a licence.
Reasons for this decision:
The Committee consider that the applicant is not a threat to the public. The incident that had occurred 4 years ago was family orientated. The applicant had paid a price for his actions and taken a remedial course.
However the Committee want the applicant to be aware that any further incidents of this nature that would necessitate the applicant being brought before them again would be taken very seriously.
