Suitability to continue to hold a Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Drivers Licence Report of Director – Environment is attached. Minutes: The Committee considered a report of the Director – Environment, Paul Barton, presented by the Licensing Manager, Joanne Brockley, and the Public Protection Officer, Gillian Littlehales, which advised the Committee of an incident that had involved a licenced Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Vehicle Driver.

In reaching its decision, the Committee took into account all evidence and representations provided, the circumstances surrounding the incident and all relevant guidelines.
