Members considered the public interest test certificate from the Proper Officer and concluded that on balance the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosing the information and it was

RESOLVED that in accordance with Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972 the public be excluded from the remainder of the meeting because of the likely disclosure to them of exempt information as identified in paragraph 12 of Part 4 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972.

Having regard to the Officer’s report and all the representations made, and for the reasons disclosed at the meeting, the Sub Committee unanimously RESOLVED that the hackney carriage/private hire vehicle driver’s licence held by Mrs S be revoked with immediate effect in the interests of public safety and in accordance with Section 61 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976.

The Sub Committee were informed that Licensing Officers would advise Mrs S of her right to appeal to the Magistrates Court within 21 days following receipt of the written decision notice.
