The Public Protection Sub Committee meeting scheduled for Wednesday 2 September 2026 was set to address matters concerning Hackney Carriages and Private Hire vehicles. The agenda also included provisions for apologies for absence and declarations of interest, with a specific item designated for the exclusion of the public due to confidential information.

Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Matters

The primary focus of the meeting was scheduled to be Hackney Carriage and Private Hire matters. The report pack indicated that this item would cover a range of issues related to these licensed vehicles, as detailed on pages 1 to 82 of the public reports pack. Due to the confidential nature of the information pertaining to this agenda item, the public was to be excluded from this part of the meeting. The Local Government Act 1972 allows for the exclusion of the public when discussions involve exempt information, which in this case was described as relating to paragraphs 14 and 21 of Schedule 12A of the Act.

The meeting was scheduled to be attended by Councillor Driscoll (Chair), Councillor Rhys Owain Livesy, and Councillor Marc Palmer. Harry Mayo, from the Director of Governance & Legal Services & Monitoring Officer's department, was listed as a contact person for the meeting.
