CIVIC GOVERNMENT (SCOTLAND) ACT 1982: APPLICATION FOR GRANT OF TAXI DRIVER'S LICENCE (L SCRIVEN, SANDBANK, DUNOON)

Minutes:

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

 

Applicant

 

Ms Scriven referred to her previous conviction which she had declared on her application form and advised that this was in relation to having no car insurance.  She advised that she had not realised the car was not insured as her previous partner had left and taken the car and unknown to her had not kept the insurance up to date.  She advised that she has worked with Mr Gemmell in the taxi office for over 7 years and was now seeking a taxi driver’s licence to enable her to drive taxis for Mr Gemmell.  

 

As there were no objectors to this Application the Chair invited the Members to ask questions.

 

As there were no questions the Committee went on to determine the Application.

 

Decision

 

Agreed to grant a taxi driver’s licence to Ms Linda Jean Scriven.
