Driver - MH
Minutes:
The Head of Environmental Health Services submitted a report concerning a new application from driver MH for a Dual Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Drivers Licence.
Driver MH had failed to notify the Authority of an offence (11/10/2017) which fell within the guidelines for the relevance of convictions and also failed to declare all of the offences committed as required by the application process.
The applicant’s previous licence was revoked by this Committee (31/01/2017). MH subsequently appealed and was successful at the Crown Court however the Councils new policy introduced on 1 November meant that this application now fell outside of the policy guidelines and required that the matter be considered by committee.
Applicant MH attended the Committee and circulated written representation as to the history of the offence and subsequent decisions of the Courts.
The Committee carefully considered both the written and oral explanation given by the applicant, the lack of remorse shown by the applicant together with the lack of respect for authority and concluded that they not heard anything which would require them to depart from the authority policy.
Resolved: That the application by MH be refused
