Taxi Licensing - Lib Dem Statement
Following a complaint from another taxi driver it has come to light that the Council issued a licence to a serial rapist about 3 and a half years ago. Investigations showed that he was first awarded his licence in 2011 by a sub-committee chaired by former Conservative councillor Amanda Box, with former Lib Dem councillors Alan Malyon and Robin Bradburn on the Sub-Committee. Lib Dem Cllr Subhan Shafiq, as a friend, attended as a character witness to the driver's current good character. It is believed that the sub-committee decided to award the license to give the driver a second change due to the historic nature of the offences, they occurred in 1994, and his good character since.
