FFORDD GWYNEDD - LICENSING EXCERCISE Oral update
from the Licensing Manager Minutes: An oral update was received
from the Senior Planning and Environment Manager on the service's recent
exercises reviewing Licensing's work processes to ensure that the people of
Gwynedd were central to what was being implemented. It was noted that
the process provided an opportunity for all to have input into the service
review. He confirmed that the review had already looked at the purpose of the
service, performance indicators, seeking the views of customers and reviewing
current work processes. It was reported
that the exercise, despite being intensive, had a positive input from all the
licensing Unit staff. Observations arising from
the discussion; ·
Need
to ensure consistency with taxi fees - request for this to be included in the
revised policy ·
It was suggested that specialist training should be
offered to taxi drivers in the context of child safety. ·
Suggestion to collaborate closer with the
contracting companies. ·
It was suggested that consideration should be given
for taxi drivers to receive first aid training.
Although it was not a statutory requirement, it would be seen as good
practice - request for this to be included in the policy review. |
