Review of a Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Driver’s Licence    

Take no action, leaving the licence in place, but issue the licence holder with the strongest possible written warning as to his future conduct, and, should there be any further offences reported prior to the expiry of this current licence, bring the licence back to the Sub-Committee for a further review hearing. Should there be no further cause for concern, authority be given to renew the licence in accordance with normal procedures.
