The Panel considered a report that informed them of an application for a new Dual Driver’s licence, which, due to a conviction calls in to question the Applicant’s 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 Applicant had appeared before the Panel, namely the Applicant’s inappropriate conduct and arrest, the report written by the Officer, their recommendations, the Applicant’s comments and the Council's Statement of Fitness and Suitability, the Applicant is not a fit and proper person and accordingly the application be REFUSED on the grounds that insufficient time has passed since the Applicant’s licence was revoked in 2023 for the Panel to be satisfied on the balance of probabilities that the Applicant is now a fit and proper person.
NOTE: The Applicant attended the meeting and addressed the Panel.
