Issue - meetings

The Chair explained to Members that at a General Licensing Sub Committee meeting on 11^th November 2021, a Member panel carried out a hearing for a Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Vehicle Driver application. During the hearing, officers informed the Sub Committee that the DVLA had sent a letter for the applicant to the incorrect address. The Members on the hearing panel requested that a letter be sent from the Chair to the DVLA expressing their disappointment that the DVLA sent this letter to the incorrect location.

The Chair informed Members that in response to this request, the Governance Officer had prepared a draft letter (attached) from the Chair to the DVLA.

It was moved by Councillor Rita Turner and seconded by Councillor Mary Dooley to send the attached draft letter to the DVLA without amendments.

RESOLVED that the attached draft letter from the Chair be sent to the DVLA without amendments.

(Governance Officer)
