Minutes:

A representative of the Director of Place Managementsubmitted a report (copies of which had been circulated) requesting the committee to consider whether the applicant was a ‘fit and proper’ person to hold a private hire car driver’s licence in view of the applicant’s previous convictions. 

 

The Committee interviewed the driver in relation to these matters.

 

RESOLVED – That the driver’s private hire licence be revoked on the grounds that the driver was not a fit and proper person to hold a licence by virtue of the driver’s recent convictions and a lack of recognition on the part of the driver of the seriousness of those convictions.
