Meeting documents

To confirm the minutes of the meeting of the Committee held on 29 June 2016.

The minutes of the meeting of the Licensing Committee held on 29 June 2016 were received and signed by the Chairman.

The Committee received a report providing Members with details of the responses to the 12 week consultation that took place on the draft Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Licensing Policy (previously seen at the 29 June 2016 Licensing Committee) in order for these responses to be considered, and the policy finalised prior to being recommended for adoption by Council.

Members were informed that following consultation, changes had been made to the policy where considered appropriate, in readiness for further consideration by the Committee. Members gave consideration to each of the issues raised through the consultation which were contained within the report.

The Licensing officer asked Members to pay particular detail to window tint levels, whilst also clarifying that this had been subject to a recent extensive consultation of its own - as such, Members made the decision to not apply any changes to the tint levels within the policy.

Additionally Members were advised that the door stickers had also attracted significant number of responses during the consultation. Following consideration of the information provided within the report, the Committee decided that door stickers should continue to be required on all licensed vehicles and so no changes were made to the draft policy on this issue.

Members therefore resolved that the proposed changes, made by the Licensing officer, to the draft policy following the consultation were acceptable and for the draft policy to be recommended to Council for adoption
