These notes are to assist you to follow the proceedings of the Regulatory Committee.

When and where do they meet

Meetings of the Committee are scheduled approximately every six weeks. However, the Committee usually meets when there are matters to be considered and this could be more or less frequently than six weeks.

Because of the nature of the business transacted the Committee normally meet during the day at the Town Hall, Royal Leamington Spa. 

All meetings are open to the public except when there are confidential or exempt items and these are likely to be considered in private.

Who is on the regulatory committee

The Regulatory Committee consists of ten Councillors comprising five Conservative, two Labour, two Liberal Democrats and an Independent member.

The Committee is usually serviced by representatives of Legal Services and Members’ Services.

Matters considered

The main function of the Regulatory Committee is to consider matters relating to the licensing function of the Council except those licences under the Licensing Act 2003. 

The Committee  considers applications for hackney carriage and private hire drivers licences where criminal convictions are revealed and  disciplinary action against drivers where complaints are received about them.

Applications for hackney carriage and private hire drivers licences and disciplinary action against drivers are exempt items and the public are excluded while they are being considered.

The Committee also consider matters relating to public footpaths and bridleways, elections and electoral registration, and  the control of the consumption of alcohol in public places under the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2002.

At the beginning of the agenda there will usually be administrative items such as Declarations of Interest by Members and the confirmation of the minutes of previous meetings. 

How to obtain copies of agendas
