The General Licensing and Registration Sub-Committee (1) of County Durham Council was scheduled to consider the ongoing suitability of two licensed drivers. The meeting agenda also included standard procedural items.

Consideration of Hackney Carriage Driver Suitability

The sub-committee was scheduled to review the ongoing suitability of a Hackney Carriage driver. This item, detailed on pages 7 to 26 of the agenda, would involve examining information pertinent to the driver's licence. Hackney carriages, commonly known as taxis, are licensed vehicles that can be hailed from the street or hired from a taxi rank.

Consideration of Private Hire Driver Suitability

The suitability of a Private Hire driver was also scheduled for consideration. This item, which spanned pages 27 to 64 of the agenda, would involve a review of information related to the driver's licence. Private hire vehicles, unlike Hackney carriages, must be pre-booked and cannot be hailed from the street.
