Minutes:
The Panel considered an application to review a dual driver’s licence, due to information recorded against the licence holder which calls into 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 Driver had appeared before the Panel, namely the Driver’s conduct, in that three separate complaints about their behaviour towards passengers had been received, the report written by the Officer, her recommendations, the Driver’s comments and the Council’s Statement of Fitness and Suitability, the driver was not a fit and proper person and accordingly the licence be revoked with immediate effect on the grounds that the complaints are from three separate women on different dates but are of a similar nature consisting of inappropriate remarks and behaviour. The Panel is satisfied on the balance of probabilities that the incidents occurred and consequently the decision is to revoke the Driver’s licence with immediate effect on the grounds of public safety.
NOTE: The Driver attended the meeting and addressed the Panel.
