Resolved:-    That the public be excluded from the meeting during consideration of the following matters because it is likely that there will be disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraphs 1,2 and 7 contained within Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act, 1972

Driver – DW

In the absence of the driver, the Sub Committee agreed to defer the application to enable the driver a further opportunity to appear at a future meeting.

Driver – JHJ

In the absence of the driver, the Sub Committee agreed to defer the application to enable the driver a further opportunity to appear at a future meeting.

Driver - SI

The Sub Committee considered an application from SI for a new Dual Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Driver’s licence.  The application was considered as a new application as a complete set of renewal documents had not been submitted before the expiry of the previous licence.  In addition, the application process had revealed convictions that fell within the requirements of the Council’s licensing policy.

After very careful consideration of information from the Council’s Licensing Officer and representations from SI and his representative the Sub Committee agreed as follows:

RESOLVED: that

(a)  The licence be granted subject to the completion of the Newcastle under Lyme Borough Council Knowledge Test and will be issued on receipt of the appropriate certificate showing that the Test has been duly completed; and

(b)  The driver be issued with a warning as to future conduct due to inaccuracies in the application process.

To consider any business which is urgent within the meaning of Section 100(B)4 of the Local Government Act.

There was no urgent business.
