Paragraph No.
22(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 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 and made a submission.
Councillor Charlesworth proposed a motion to refuse the application, which was seconded by Councillor Rogers.
RESOLVED (by 4 votes to 1 against) that the driver is not a “Fit and Proper person” to holda Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Vehicle Driver’s Licence.
Reasons for this decision:
The Committee have listened very carefully to the applicant but are of the view that there remains a potential risk to the general public particularly young people and vulnerable adults. The applicant did not, in the Committee’s view make a substantive enough case to convince them that he was a fit and proper person to hold a licence. Public safety is of paramount importance.
