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 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.
The driver was in attendance, together with his potential employer and both made a submission.
Councillor Street proposed a motion to grant the application, which was seconded by Councillor Rogers.
RESOLVED (unanimously) that the driver is a “Fit and Proper person” to hold a Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Vehicle Driver’s Licence.
Reasons for this decision: The applicant's prospective employer spoke highly of him. He had know him for 10 years and said he was honest and trustworthy. The offence happened 5 years ago. The penalty the applicant received was not significant. The Committee believe that the driver does not pose a threat to the public. However, the Committee want the driver to be aware that any further incidents that would necessitate the applicant being brought before them again would be taken very seriously.
The Committee have made this decision in compliance with its policy.
