Minutes:
The Chair welcomed the Licence Holder to the meeting and introductions were made.
The Council’s Solicitor explained the procedure.
The Sub-Committee considered a report of the Corporate Director of Neighbourhoods and Climate Change to determine the ongoing suitability of a Hackney Carriage Driver (for copy of report, see file of minutes).
In presenting the report, The Licensing Enforcement Officer updated the Sub-Committee that the Licence Holder, of his own volition, completed the Licensed Driver Improvement Scheme on 26 April 2022.
The Licence Holder then addressed the Sub-Committee and the parties were given the opportunity to ask the Licence Holder questions.
After all parties were given the opportunity to make a closing statement, the Sub-Committee retired to deliberate the application, in private, at 9.50 am. After re-convening at 10.00am, the Chair delivered the Sub-Committee’s decision.
Resolved:
That the Hackney Carriage Driver be given a written warning for a period of 12 months.
