Agenda and minutes

There were no apologies for absence received.

There were no declarations of interest made at the beginning or during the course of the meeting. 

The Taxi and General Sub Committee unanimously RESOLVED that for the reasons outlined at the meeting and to the applicant when present, application no. 1 of Blackwood for a hackney carriage/private hire vehicle driver’s licence, be granted for a period of 3 years, subject to a satisfactory medical certificate, application photographs and the applicant’s DVLA licence being received by the Licensing Department.

The Sub Committee departed from the Council’s Licensing Policy regarding conviction-free periods as they were of the view that sufficient time had elapsed since the applicant’s last relevant conviction.  Having considered the representations made by the applicant and the steps he had taken to improve his behaviour in recent years, they were satisfied that he was a fit and proper person to hold such a licence.
