Summary

Open Council Network is an independent organisation. We report on Doncaster and are not the council. About us

The Licensing Sub-Committee of Doncaster Council was scheduled to consider several applications for new private hire driver licences. The meeting agenda also included the confirmation of minutes from a previous meeting.

Applications for New Private Hire Driver Licences

The committee was scheduled to consider four separate applications for new private hire driver licences. These applications were to be discussed in private session, as they involved information relating to individuals, in accordance with paragraph 1 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 19721. For each application, the report pack indicated that the committee would be presented with information and circumstances leading to the requirement to determine if the applicant was a 'fit and proper' person to hold a licence. The report pack for the meeting can be found here.

Minutes of Previous Meeting

The committee was scheduled to consider the minutes from the Licensing Sub-Committee meeting held on 8th April 2026. These minutes would have been presented for confirmation as a true record.


  1. The Local Government Act 1972 allows for the exclusion of the public and press from meetings when certain types of information, such as personal details of individuals, are likely to be disclosed.
