Agenda item

The Chair welcomed the Licence Holder to the meeting and introductions were made.

The Sub-Committee considered a report of the Corporate Director of Neighbourhoods and Climate Change to determine the ongoing suitability of the Licence Holder to continue to be licensed as a Private Hire Driver (for copy see file of minutes).

The Licensing Enforcement Officer presented the report and all parties were given the opportunity to ask questions of the Officer.

The Licence Holder was then invited to address the Sub-Committee and respond to questions from Members and Officers.

After all parties were given the opportunity to make a closing statement, the Sub-Committee retired to deliberate the matter in private, at 9.45 am.  After re-convening at 10.00 am, the Chair delivered the Sub-Committee’s decision.

Resolved:

That the Licence Holder be issued with a twelve-month written warning and to complete the Durham County Council Licensed Driver Improvement course within 6 weeks.
