The Torridge District Council Licensing Sub-Committee is scheduled to meet on Monday 6 October 2025. The meeting will begin with a motion to exclude the public due to the discussion of exempt information. The main item on the agenda is a review of a Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver's Licence.

Review of Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver's Licence

The Licensing Sub-Committee is scheduled to review a Hackney Carriage/Private Hire Driver's Licence, according to the agenda frontsheet. The public reports pack indicates that the Lead Licensing Officer's report on this matter will be presented to the committee. However, the report itself is not available to the public.

Exclusion of the Public

At the beginning of the meeting, the Chair will move to exclude the public from the remainder of the meeting. According to the agenda frontsheet, this is because of:

the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined Paragraph 1 of Part 1 and Paragraph 10 of Part 2 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972.

The Local Government Act 1972 is legislation that defines the structure and responsibilities of local authorities in England and Wales¹. Schedule 12A outlines categories of information that can be kept confidential. Paragraph 1 of Part 1 relates to information about an individual, and Paragraph 10 of Part 2 relates to financial or business affairs.
