Description

The Committee determined an application for the Grant of Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Vehicle Driver's Licence for Applicant E1D224, considering conviction for drink driving and English language proficiency concerns.

From the minutes

It was moved by Councillor Ball, seconded by Councillor Moorcroft, and RESOLVED that the application for the Grant of the Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Vehicle Driver's Licence for Applicant E1D224 be refused as the Committee did not consider Applicant E1D224 to be a fit and proper person to hold such a Licence and therefore felt that there was reasonable cause to refuse the application.
