Agenda item

Application for the Ongoing Suitability of a Private Hire Driver

Minutes:

Members were informed that the Licence Holder was not in attendance and it had not been possible to contact him. A number of attempts had been made to arrange a pre-committee interview and to arrange for the Licence Holder’s attendance before the Sub-Committee. 

 

In view of this the Sub-Committee Resolved that the hearing should proceed in the Licence Holder’s absence.

 

The Committee considered the report of the Corporate Director of Adult and Health Services which requested Members to determine the suitability of the Licence Holder to continue to be licensed as a Private Hire Driver (for copy see file of Minutes).

 

The representative from Durham Constabulary provided background information to the Licence Holder’s conviction.

 

Having considered the information in the report and the information provided by Durham Constabulary the Sub-Committee Resolved:

 

That the Private Hire Driver Licence be revoked with immediate effect.
