Minutes:
The Panel considered an application to grant a dual driver’s licence, which due to convictions calls into 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 Driver had appeared before the Panel, namely convictions for speeding on three occasions since 2024, the report written by the Officer, her 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 was refused on the grounds that the Applicant’s convictions demonstrate that they are not a safe driver.
NOTE: The Applicant attended the meeting with a representative and addressed the Panel.
