The Licensing Sub-Committee of Doncaster Council is scheduled to convene on Wednesday, 6th May 2026, to consider several applications for new Private Hire Drivers Licences. The meeting will also involve the review of minutes from a previous meeting.

Applications for New Private Hire Drivers Licences

A significant portion of the meeting is scheduled to be dedicated to considering multiple applications for new Private Hire Drivers Licences. These applications are listed as agenda items 5, 6, 7, and 8. Due to the personal nature of the information involved, the public and press are expected to be excluded from these discussions, in accordance with paragraph 1 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972¹. The report pack indicates that for each application, the Sub-Committee will be presented with information relating to an individual, and the determination will be made based on whether the applicant is considered a 'fit and proper' person to hold such a licence. This assessment will take into account the council's Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Licensing Policy².

Minutes of Previous Meeting

The Sub-Committee is also scheduled to review the minutes from its previous meeting held on 8th April 2026. This is a standard procedural item to ensure the accuracy of the record of past proceedings.
