Report of the Head of Housing and Community Services - Demonstration and oral report from the Head of Housing and Community Services on the Proposed introduction of a online taxi driver knowledge test
Minutes:
The Licensing Partnership Manager advised the
committee that the online taxi driver knowledge test was almost
complete and was in the process of being tested. A link would be
circulated to Members outside of the meeting for their
feedback.
In response to questions it was explained
that:
·
There was no restriction on the number of times applicants could
re-take the online test, however there may be a set time period
which would have to elapse before the test could be taken
again.
·
The pass rate was set at 80% however this was open to
adjustment.
·
There were no plans to retrospectively test existing drivers.
The Licensing Partnership Manager explained
that an item would be brought to the next meeting of the committee
to address any questions that arose from Members exploration of the
online test.
RESOLVED:
That the oral report be noted.
