The Panel considered a report to ask Members to review whether, as a result of a conviction, the holder of an existing dual hackney carriage / private hire drivers licence, remains a ‘fit and proper’ person to hold that licence.
RESOLVED that, based on the information provided to the Panel, having taken into account the reasons the Licence Holder has appeared before the Panel, the report written by the Officer, Officer recommendations, the Licence Holder’s comments and the Council's Statement of Fitness and Suitability, the Panel found that although the Licence Holder has received a caution for common assault and battery, Greater Manchester Police have confirmed that the seriousness of the offence was low and that the Licence Holder has a previously unblemished record and that the Licence Holder disclosed the caution to the Council immediately and the Panel unanimously decided that the Licence Holder be given a final written warning in relation to their conduct.
NOTE:
1. The Applicant attended the meeting and addressed the Panel.
2. In accordance with Rule 16.3 of the Council Procedure Rules, Councillors Byrne, Cosgrove and H. Harrison requested that their votes against the decision be recorded.
