(2)  That the hackney carriage/private hire driver’s licence in respect of Mr. R.K. be revoked.

(Councillor Beaumont did not take part in the consideration of Mr. R. A.’s application due to illness.  She re-joined the meeting for consideration of Mr. R.K.).

(Councillor Sheppard declared that he was a contact of one of the representatives via social media, but they did not discuss cases and nor had he had any involvement with any of the applicants)
