Summary

This meeting was scheduled to include a discussion about whether to renew a private hire vehicle licence. Councillors were also scheduled to consider whether to exclude members of the public and the press from the meeting.

Renewal of a Private Hire Vehicle Licence

The meeting was scheduled to include consideration of an application for the renewal of a private hire vehicle licence. The report pack includes a letter from a member of the public to the council dated 19 June 2024. The letter writer is only identified as redacted, but appears to relate to the conduct of a private hire vehicle driver licensed by the council.

Further to our telephone conversation yesterday morning I am writing to inform you of the incident that I was unfortunate enough to be involved in whilst trying to get home from work.

On the evening of Saturday 17th June 2023 at approximately 23.15 I left my place of work ... I contacted [redacted] as I have done many times in the past to collect me from my work ... at approximately 23.25.

The report pack contains no information about the driver or the vehicle.
