Summary

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

The Taxi & General Licensing Sub-Committee of West Northamptonshire Council was scheduled to consider several applications for private hire vehicle driver's licences. The committee was also scheduled to establish the suitability of a driver to hold such a licence.

Driver Suitability

The committee was scheduled to establish the suitability of a driver to be a private hire driver. This item was scheduled to be considered in private, as it contained exempt information relating to an individual, as defined by Paragraph 1 of Part 1, Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972. The report pack provided to the committee contained information on pages 5 to 24 relating to this item.

New Private Hire Vehicle Driver's Licence Applications

Four separate applications for new Private Hire Vehicle Driver's Licences were scheduled to be considered by the committee. These applications were detailed in the report pack across several sections:

  • An application was scheduled to be considered from pages 25 to 42.
  • A second application was scheduled to be considered from pages 43 to 62.
  • A third application was scheduled to be considered from pages 63 to 74.
  • A fourth application was scheduled to be considered from pages 75 to 88.

These items were also scheduled to be considered in private due to containing exempt information relating to individuals.
