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.
