The Regulatory and Appeals Sub Committee of Boston Borough Council met on Friday 29 May 2026 to consider an application for a Private Hire Vehicle Driver Licence. Following a review of the evidence and submissions, the committee determined that the applicant did not meet the required fit and proper person
test and subsequently revoked the licence.
Application for a Private Hire Vehicle Driver Licence
The committee considered an application for a Private Hire Vehicle Driver Licence. Senior Licensing Officer Anna McDowell presented a report to the Sub-Committee. The licence holder, Miss McDowell, was also present to address the committee.
After careful consideration of all information presented, including the Council's Licensing Policy and the duties under Section 149 of the Equality Act 20101, the Sub-Committee concluded that, on the balance of probabilities, the applicant did not satisfy the fit and proper person
test. Consequently, the committee determined that it was reasonable and proportionate to revoke the licence.

The Equality Act 2010 is a piece of legislation that protects people from discrimination in the workplace and in wider society. It consolidates and replaces previous anti-discrimination laws. Section 149 relates to the public sector equality duty, which requires public authorities to have due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination, advance equality of opportunity, and foster good relations. ↩
