The Licensing Sub-Committee (Street Trading and Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Vehicles, Drivers and Operators) of Tewkesbury Council met on Thursday 24 September 2026. The meeting was scheduled to consider several reviews of private hire driver and vehicle licences, as well as an application for a private hire operator's licence.

Review of Private Hire Driver's Licence

The committee was scheduled to review a private hire driver's licence. Information regarding this review was contained within pages 5 to 22 of the public reports pack. This item was designated as exempt from public disclosure under paragraph 2 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, as it was likely to reveal the identity of an individual.

Review of Private Hire Vehicle Licence

A review of a private hire vehicle licence was also on the agenda, with relevant documentation found on pages 23 to 60 of the public reports pack. Similar to the driver's licence review, this item was also exempt from public disclosure due to the potential identification of an individual.

Application for Private Hire Operator's Licence

The sub-committee was set to determine an application for a private hire operator's licence. The details of this application were provided in pages 61 to 82 of the public reports pack. This item was also subject to the same exemption as the driver and vehicle licence reviews.

Further Review of Private Hire Driver's Licence

An additional review of a private hire driver's licence was scheduled, with supporting information on pages 83 to 92 of the public reports pack. This item was also exempt from public disclosure under paragraph 2 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972.

The agenda for the meeting was published on the council's website, and can be viewed in the Agenda frontsheet Thursday 24-Sep-2026 10.30 Licensing Sub-Committee Street Trading and Hackney .pdf.

The main business of the meeting was scheduled to be conducted in private session, with the Chair to move a resolution under Section 100(A)(4) of the Local Government Act 1972 to exclude the public due to the likely disclosure of exempt information.
