Resolution to exclude the public and the press The Monitoring Officer has determined that categories 1 & 2 of the Access to Information Procedure Rules applies to the following items. His view on the public interest test (having taken account of the provisions of Rule 14.18 of the Council's Access to Information Rules) was that to make this information public would disclose information relating to:
(i) information relating to any individual
(ii) information which is likely to reveal the identity of an individual.
These factors in his view outweigh the public interest in disclosing this information. Members are asked to consider these factors when determining the public interest test, which they must decide when considering excluding the public from this part of the meeting.
Minutes: RESOLVED that in accordance with Section 100(a)(4) of the Local Government Act 1972 the public and press were excluded from the meeting on the grounds that there would be disclosure to them of exempt information under Paragraphs 12 and 18 of Schedule 12a Part 7 of the above Act in respect of the following item[s].

Minutes: Applicant – JD/02/2022
Rod Bowen, Police Licensing Officer
The Licensing Officer presented the licensing authority’s position as outlined in the report [copy filed with the signed minutes].
The applicant explained that he had attended an online driving speed awareness course but due to internet problems had not been able to complete the course. He attended the online course a second time, but again could not complete this due to internet problems. As a result, he received points on his licence for not satisfactorily completing the course. He advised that on one occasion he was not driving a taxi when he received points for speeding. On another occasion he advised he could not identify who was driving the taxi. He asked the police for photographic evidence, but the identity of the driver could not be made and therefore he admitted to the offence as he was the taxi operator.
The Police Licensing Officer advised JD/02/22 had asked for the photographic evidence and as the driver could not be identified JD/02/22 declared he was the driver. He advised that as JD/02/22 had not completed the speed awareness course to a satisfactory standard, penalty points were added to his licence.
All parties confirmed that they had been able to make their representations. The Chair advised that the sub-committee would consider the application and an officer would contact the applicant with its decision. The Chair thanked all for attending. The applicant, Police Licensing Officer and Senior Licensing Officer left the meeting.
The Sub-Committee considered, in private, the application and the evidence they had heard, with the support of the Clerk. In reaching the decision members took into account the relevant written and verbal representations.
The Clerk to the Sub-Committee advised that he would confirm the decision in writing and reminded parties of their right to appeal.
