Summary

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

The Regulatory and Appeals Sub Committee of Boston Council is scheduled to consider an application for a Private Hire Vehicle Driver Licence. The meeting will also involve preliminary matters such as the election of a chairman and the consideration of apologies for absence and declarations of interest.

Private Hire Vehicle Driver Licence Application

The committee is scheduled to review an application for a Private Hire Vehicle Driver Licence. A report on this application has been prepared by Anna McDowell, Senior Licensing Officer. The procedures for the hearing indicate that the Senior Licensing Officer will present her report, followed by questions from the Sub-Committee to both the officer and the applicant. The applicant will then have the opportunity to present their case, with further questions from the committee. The Sub-Committee will then retire to consider the report and make a decision, which will be formally notified to the applicant in writing within five working days. The report pack indicates that the public and press may be excluded from this part of the meeting due to the likely disclosure of exempt information.

The meeting is scheduled to take place on Friday 29 May 2026 at 11:30 am in the Committee Room at the Municipal Buildings, West Street, Boston, PE21 8QR. The panel members for this meeting are Councillor Richard Austin BEM, Councillor John Baxter (Portfolio Holder - Housing), and Councillor Helen Staples (Portfolio Holder - Communities). Councillor Stuart Evans is listed as a substitute. Members of the public are welcome to attend as observers, except during the consideration of exempt or confidential items. The meeting may be subject to recording.

The documents available for this meeting are the Public reports pack and the Agenda frontsheet.
