Councillor Jones declared a Personal Interest in Case A - Application for the Renewal of a Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver Licence - on the grounds that he had been approached by the complainant as to how to progress their complaint against the  driver.  He would not speak or vote on this matter. 

The following items are likely to be considered in the absence of the press and public as being exempt under the Police Act 1997 and Paragraphs 3 and 7 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972 (business affairs and prevention of crime)

Resolved:- That, under Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, the press and public be excluded from the meeting for the following item of business on the grounds that it involves the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in the Police Act 1997 and Paragraphs 3 and 7 of Part I of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972 (business affairs and prevention of crime).

The representative of Mr. A.B. had requested an adjournment due to his own personal circumstances.

Resolved:-  (1)  That consideration of the review application in respect of the hackney carriage/private hire driver’s licence of Mr. A.B. be deferred and he be afforded the opportunity of attending a future meeting of the Licensing Board Sub-Committee.

(2)  (a)  That the hackney carriage/private hire driver’s licence in respect of Mr. M.A. be suspended immediately pending satisfactory completion of an appropriate advanced driving test approved by the Council’s Licensing Service.

(b)  That renewal of Mr. M.A.’s hackney carriage/private hire driver’s licence be approved but not issued until successful completion of the appropriate advanced driving test as outlined in 2(a) above with the suspension remaining in place until such time.
