Licensing Decisions

The committee convened in private to discuss several licensing matters. Under Section 100A(4) of the Local Government Act 1972, the press and public were excluded from the meeting for these items because they involved the likely disclosure of exempt information, as defined in paragraph 1 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Act, as amended by the Freedom of Information Act 2000¹. The committee addressed the following cases:

• Review status of a Private Hire Vehicle Driver Licence
• Review status of a Private Hire Vehicle Driver Licence
• Review status of a Private Hire Vehicle Licence
• Review status of a Hackney Carriage Vehicle Driver Licence
• Review status of a Private Hire Vehicle Driver Licence
• Application for the grant of a Private Hire Vehicle Driver Licence

The specific details and outcomes of these reviews and the application are not available to the public.
