Meeting: 18/06/2024 - Licensing Driver Panel (Item 7)

DP/2024/52

The purpose of this report is to ask Members to review a dual driver licence where a conviction recorded against the applicant calls in to question their fitness and propriety to be a suitable person to hold such a licence. As such, the licence holder has been referred to this Panel for determination.

Minutes:

The Panel considered an application to review a licence, due to the conduct of the Driver which 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 Applicant has appeared before the Panel, namely: convictions, the report written by the Officer, their recommendations,  the applicants comments and the Council's Statement of Fitness and Suitability the Applicant is not a fit and proper person and accordingly the licence is to be SUSPENDED for a period of 14 days as although Council Guidelines would suggest the revocation of the Licence, the Panel are satisfied that due to the mitigating circumstances, a 14 day suspension is more appropriate.

 

NOTE: The Applicant attended the meeting and addressed the Panel.
