The Panel considered an application to review a licence where several complaints recorded against the licence holder 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, based on the information provided to the Panel, having taken into account the reason the Driver has appeared before the Panel, namely complaints about his conduct, the report written by the Officer, their recommendations, the Driver’s comments and the Council's Statement of Fitness and Suitability, the Driver is no longer a fit and proper person and accordingly the licence is to be REVOKED with immediate effect on the grounds of public safety. The Panel are satisfied that the conduct of the Driver in making inappropriate remarks to passengers demonstrated that he was no longer a fit and proper person to hold a licence and the nature of the remarks demonstrated that he was a risk to passengers.
NOTE: The Driver attended the meeting and addressed the Panel.
