Agenda and minutes

Apologies for absence were intimated from Councillors Gordon Blair, Rory Colville, Mary-Jean Devon, Roderick McCuish and Alistair MacDougall.

Councillor Neil MacIntyre declared a non financial declaration in the application for a Taxi Operator’s Licence submitted by Ms Wylie from Oban.  Councillor MacIntyre advised that members of his family were involved in the taxi business in the Oban area and therefore he would not take part in the determination of this application.  He left the room and took no part in the following hearing.

The Chair welcomed everyone to the meeting and introductions were made.  He then outlined the procedure that would be followed and invited the Applicant to speak in support of her application.
