Summary

The Taxi & General Licensing Sub-Committee of West Northamptonshire Council met to consider applications for new private hire driver licences. Councillor Adrian Cartwright, Councillor Rosie Humphreys, Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group, and Councillor Debra King were scheduled to be in attendance.

Private Hire Driver Licences

The sub-committee was scheduled to consider three applications for new private hire driver licences.

The agenda for the meeting noted that the reports relating to these applications contained exempt information as defined in paragraph 1 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972, which relates to information about individuals. It was recommended that the press and public be excluded from the meeting while these items were discussed, because if they were present, it would be likely that exempt information would be disclosed.

Other items

The agenda for the meeting also included:

  • The appointment of a chair for the meeting.
  • Declarations of interest from members.
  • Reminders about the rules regarding arrears of council tax1.
  • Evacuation procedures and mobile phone usage.

  1. Under the Local Government and Finance Act 1992, any councillor who is more than two months in arrears with their council tax is required to declare that fact, and is unable to vote on any decision involving budget setting, extending or agreeing contracts, or incurring expenditure not already provided for in the budget.
