The Taxi and Private Hire Sub Committee of North West Leicestershire Council was scheduled to convene on Friday, 1 May 2026. The primary item on the agenda was the consideration of a dual driver's licence. The meeting was also set to address procedural matters such as the election of a chair, apologies for absence, and declarations of interest.

Consideration of a Dual Driver's Licence

The committee was scheduled to review a report from the Licensing Team Leader concerning an application for a dual driver's licence. This item was anticipated to involve the disclosure of exempt information, meaning that the press and public would likely be excluded from this part of the meeting. The Local Government Act 1972 allows for the exclusion of the public when the disclosure of information would be likely to result in the disclosure of exempt or confidential information. The report pack indicates that this item, detailed on pages 3 to 70 of the public reports pack, was considered to be of significant importance.

The following procedural items were also scheduled for the meeting:

• Election of Chair: The committee was due to elect a chair to preside over the meeting.
• Apologies for Absence: Any apologies for absence from committee members were to be noted.
• Declarations of Interest: Members were reminded of their obligation under the Code of Conduct to declare any interests, specifying whether they were disclosable pecuniary, registerable, or other interests.
• Exclusion of Press and Public: Officers considered that the press and public should be excluded from certain agenda items in accordance with Section 100(a) of the Local Government Act 1972, as publicity could lead to the disclosure of exempt or confidential information.
