Application for the Ongoing Suitability of a Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Driver

Minutes:

The Chairman welcomed the Licence Holder and his supporter to the meeting and introductions took place.

 

The Sub-Committee considered a report of the Corporate Director of Adult Services to determine the ongoing suitability of a Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Driver (for copy, see file of minutes).

 

The Licensing Team Leader presented the report and the Licensing Enforcement Team Leader presented the Licensing Enforcement Team report.  Members and Officers were given the opportunity to ask questions following both presentations, as well as the Licence Holder.

 

A representative from Durham Constabulary addressed the Sub-Committee in respect of matters outlined in the report.

 

The Licence Holder and his supporter were invited to address the Sub-Committee and the Licence Holder responded to questions from Members and Officers.

 

At 12.05 p.m. the Sub-Committee retired to deliberate the application in private and after reconvening at 12.20 p.m. the Chairman delivered the decision.

 

Resolved:

 

That the Licence be revoked as the Licence Holder was not deemed to be a fit and proper person.
