The Director of Public Health will submit a report on a Hackney Carriage driver’s review of licence status.

Members have had sight of the email from FS’s wife, advising that he was unable to attend this Committee because his mother had passed away and he was travelling to Romania.  Members are sympathetic to his loss, however, after having considered the content of the report, Members believe it is in the interests of public safety not to adjourn the meeting and potentially allow him to continue working as a taxi driver until the next available Committee but to make a decision today.

The Committee -

The Committee agreed that having taken the above into account to revoke FS’s Hackney Carriage Driver’s Licence under section 19(1)(b) of the Plymouth City Council Act 1975 as he is no longer considered to be a fit and proper person.

Note – Councillor Rennie voted against this decision
