The Licensing Sub-Committee of Doncaster Council is scheduled to convene on Friday, 30 January 2026, to review several existing Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Driver and Vehicle Licences. The meeting will also consider the exclusion of the public and press from certain agenda items.

Review of Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Licences

A significant portion of the meeting is dedicated to the review of existing Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Driver and Vehicle Licences. These reviews are scheduled to take place at various times throughout the day, starting at 10:00 am and continuing at 10:30 am, 11:00 am, 11:30 am, and concluding at 12:00 pm.

The reports indicate that these reviews will involve considering information relating to individuals, which may lead to the exclusion of the public and press from these discussions in accordance with the Local Government Act 1972¹. The purpose of these reviews is to determine whether the licence holders remain fit and proper persons to hold their respective licences. This assessment will likely take into account the council's Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Licensing Policy, as evidenced in previous meetings².

The agenda also includes the confirmation of the minutes from the previous meeting of the Licensing Sub-Committee held on 22 October 2025³.
