Issue - meetings

Report of Councillor Maxted on behalf of the Licensing Committee. Referred from the meeting of Licensing Committee held on 7 July 2022.

Councillor Vaughan moved and Councillor Tutt seconded the recommendation to Full Council made by the Licensing Committee on 7 July 2022 to approve the additional licensing fee proposed for the English Proficiency Test, Safeguarding and Disability Awareness training, and 6 monthly DBS check.

A question was raised as to whether the safeguarding and disability training should be carried out on a regular basis by taxi drivers, at a minimum of every two years, rather than as one of training.  It was confirmed that this could be relayed to licensing officers outside the meeting to consider building into future budgets.

RESOLVED (unanimously):

To approve the Licensing Fee, as set out in the report to the Licensing Committee, for the English Proficiency Test, Safeguarding and Disability Awareness training, and 6 monthly DBS check.
