Minutes:
The Panel considered an application to review a licence, due to convictions of the Driver which calls in to question their fitness and propriety to be a suitable person to hold such a licence. As such, the application was referred to the Panel for determination.
RESOLVED that:
1. Based on the information provided to the Panel, having taken into account the reason the Driver has appeared before the Panel, namely: convictions, the report written by the Officer, their recommendations, the Driver’s comments and the Council's Statement of Fitness and Suitability the Driver is not a fit and proper person and accordingly the licence is to be Revoked in accordance with the guidelines in the Council’s Statement of Fitness and Suitability.
2. The Licence is to be revoked with immediate effect in the interest of public safety due to the serious nature of the driving offences committed by the Driver and the risk posed to passengers and the wider public by continuing to allow him to be licensed pending the outcome of any appeal.
NOTE: The Applicant and a legal representative attended the meeting and addressed the Panel.
