Agenda item

Members considered an appeal by a taxi driver against the revocation of his private hire driver’s licence.

In considering the appeal and the representations made, the Sub-Committee had to decide whether the decision of the Licensing Manager to revoke the Appellant’s license was appropriate.

In coming to their decision, the Sub-Committee took into consideration the evidence provided by the Appellant and the Licensing Manager, and determined their relevance to the issues raised and in accordance with relevant criteria.

Having regard to the evidence and representations received, the Sub-Committee considered the options set out in the report.

Following consideration of both oral and written representations from both parties, it was:

Resolved:  That the decision to revoke the private hire driver’s licence be upheld.

Reason:     Having considered all the information before them the Sub-Committee felt there were no special circumstances to deviate from Council policy in this instance.
