Minutes:

The Senior Licensing Officer submitted a report (previously circulated) on the priorities of the Licensing Section together with an update on the agreed forward work programme for 2024/25.

 

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.  The work programme had been drafted taking into account relevant policies and review dates together with any potential legislative changes proposed.

 

A number of items in the work programme had been rescheduled or removed and a revised work programme had been presented for members’ consideration.

 

An update was provided on those rescheduled/removed items which related to –

 

·       Hackney Carriage Tariff – at their last meeting members had agreed to retain the current fares and review the position in twelve months’ time (June 2025)

·       Special Procedures – no further update had been received on the report item

·       Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles – the item had been rescheduled to March 2025 to enable members to consider the results of the consultation on the review of licensing requirements.

 

Members noted the revisions to the forward work programme.

 

RESOLVED that –

                    

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

 

(b)      the forward work programme for 2024/25 as detailed in Appendix A to the report be approved.
