2.         make any comments and recommendations regarding the future work of the Taxi Licensing Function.

The Head of Community Services submitted a report (previously circulated, now appended) which detailed the progress made by the Taxi Licensing Function during the current Council year (April – August 2015).

The Licensing Manager presented the report and summarised the main points.  He informed the Committee that the levels of activity were broadly similar to last year.  The Legal Advisor briefed the Committee on the outcome of an appeal hearing which had been heard at the Magistrate’s Court earlier in the day.  He said that he would circulate a formal report on the hearing setting out the findings and suggesting some procedural changes to consider for future cases.

The Committee resolved to NOTE the report.
