The Senior Licensing Officer submitted a report (previously circulated) on the priorities of the Licensing Section and a revised forward work programme for 2023.

The priorities of the Licensing Section reflected the duty placed on the authority in relation to its responsibilities for the licensing function and the effective regulation, control and enforcement of licensees, and the authority’s commitment to safer communities and the development of the economy.  Members were asked to consider the revised forward work programme and note that the scheduled review of the Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Statement of Policy had been further postponed pending the outcome of the consultation on the Welsh Government’s White Paper: Taxi and Private Hire Vehicle (PHV) (Wales) Bill.

RESOLVED that –

(a)      the contents of the report be noted, and

(b)      the revised forward work programme for 2023 as detailed in Appendix A to the report be approved.
