Coventry Council's Licensing and Regulatory Sub Committee (1) (Hackney Carriage & Private Hire Taxi Licensing) will meet to consider whether to grant licences to two people to work as private hire drivers, and to review the licence of a Hackney Carriage driver in Coventry. The meeting's agenda states that councillors will be asked in private to consider whether to exclude members of the public and the press from the meeting during the discussion of these topics.

Hackney Carriage Driver's Licence Review

A report has been prepared for the committee that contains a large amount of information about an application to review the licence of a Hackney Carriage driver in Coventry. The report has been redacted to protect the identities of the driver and any members of the public involved, and so it is not possible to say what allegations have been made against the driver, or what evidence will be considered. The report does state that it will consider:

the legal requirements and statutory guidance for licensing authorities when carrying out their functions in respect of the licensing of Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Drivers and Vehicles.

Applications for the Grant of a Private Hire Driver's Licence

Two applications for the grant of a new Private Hire Driver's Licence in Coventry will be considered by the committee. Like the report into the Hackney Carriage Driver's Licence, both of these reports have been redacted to protect the identity of the applicants and any other people involved. This means it is not possible to say why these applications are being considered at a public meeting.
