Minutes:
The Panel considered an application to grant a Dual Driver’s licence, which, due to a conviction 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 information received about the Applicant’s behaviour from Greater Manchester Police, 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 although the Applicant’s convictions are considered to be spent under the Council’s Statement of Fitness and Suitability, there have been three complaints to the Police about the Applicant’s conduct since 2015 regarding assault or false imprisonment and the Panel is not satisfied that the Applicant is a fit and proper to be licensed by the Council.
NOTE: The Applicant attended the meeting and addressed the Panel.
