Summary

The General Licensing and Registration Sub-Committee (2) convened to address licensing matters, focusing on private hire services. The key decision involved the consideration of an application for a private hire driver's license, which was discussed in detail during the meeting.

Consideration of an Application to be licensed as a Private Hire Driver

The Sub-Committee convened to assess an applicant's suitability for a private hire driver's license. This matter was discussed in Part B of the meeting, which was closed to the public due to the confidential nature of the information involved.

The minutes from the previous meeting on 3 March 2025, reveal a similar case where an applicant was granted a private hire driver's license but also received a written warning for a 6-month period. In that meeting, the Corporate Director of Neighbourhoods and Climate Change submitted a report to help the Sub-Committee make their decision.
