The General Licensing and Registration Sub-Committee (1) was scheduled to consider several applications for private hire vehicle licences and the ongoing suitability of two Hackney carriage drivers. The meeting agenda also included standard procedural items.

Consideration of Private Hire Vehicle Licence Applications

The sub-committee was scheduled to consider four separate applications for private hire vehicle licences where a request had been made to deviate from council policy. The specific details of these requests and the policies in question were contained within the report pack, but the agenda does not specify the nature of the deviations sought or the reasons behind them.

Suitability of Hackney Carriage Drivers

Two items on the agenda concerned the ongoing suitability of Hackney carriage drivers. These discussions were scheduled to take place in private, with the report pack indicating that they would involve the consideration of exempt or confidential information. The detailed reports for these items, which would outline the specific concerns regarding each driver's suitability, were not publicly available in full.

The agenda for the meeting also included standard procedural items such as apologies for absence, substitutes, and the minutes of the previous meeting held on 14 January 2026¹.
