Minutes:

The Panel considered a report to inform them of an application to review a Dual Driver’s licence, which, due to a conviction 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 report written by the Officer, the reasons the Licence Holder has appeared before the Panel, Officer recommendations, the Licence Holder’s comments and the Council's Statement of Fitness and Suitability, that the Licence Holder is not a fit and proper person and accordingly the licence be SUSPENDED for a period of two months, based on the Licence Holder not having an extensive history of motoring offences, the Licence Holder was not driving the vehicle at the time of the offence and as the Council had not received any complaints about him previously.

 

NOTE: The Licence Holder attended the meeting and addressed the Panel.
