Minutes:
The Panel considered an application to grant a Dual Driver’s licence, which, due to convictions and the Applicant’s failure to notify the Council of his convictions when he applied for the licence, 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 and the Applicant’s failure to notify the Council of convictions when applying for the licence, 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 had been informed by his current licensing authority in 2022 that convictions must be stated when any driver licence application is submitted, but despite this, the Applicant had failed to notify the Council of his conviction in the application.
NOTE: The Applicant attended the meeting and addressed the Panel.
