Minutes:
The Corporate Director, Environmental Services, submitted a report regarding an application for a Carriage / Private Hire Drivers 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 Drivers Licence.
With the agreement of the Chair and the applicant, the Licensing Manager circulated a DBS certificate supplied by the Chief Officer of Police, for Members to consider as part of the report.
The driver was in attendance together with his father and both made a submission in his defence.
Councillor Sinden proposed a motion to grant the application, which was seconded by Councillor Dowling.
RESOLVED by (2 votes to 1 against) that the applicant is a ‘Fit and Proper’ person to hold a Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Vehicle Driver’s Licence.
Reasons: The Committee believe the applicant has matured enough to hold a licence. He has had 7 years free of criminal conviction. The Committee believe that the applicant is not a threat to public safety.
The Committee want the applicant to know that they would take matters very seriously should you appear before them again.
