The constitution, councillors' conduct, audit, performance and complaints.
What councils do
How the council itself is run: its constitution, staff, buildings, IT, complaints, and how councillors behave.
Who decides
The full Council agrees the constitution. A standards committee deals with councillors' conduct; the Public Services Ombudsman for Wales investigates complaints.
Having a say
Complain to the council first; if you're not satisfied, you can go to the Ombudsman. Council meetings are public, and many are broadcast.

RESOLVED – That the following matters be dealt with as indicated:
(1)
Case 1
The Sub Committee were asked to consider a complaint received from a member of the public that a hackney carriage driver requested payment of the fare in advance of the journey and also refused to use the taxi meter.
The Sub Committee received representations from the driver. The driver stated that he had no recollection of the incident. He accepted that a photograph provided by the complainant was a photograph of his vehicle but he denied that was the driver involved in the incident. The driver confirmed that he was aware of the licensing conditions relating to use of the taxi meter.
The complainant addressed the Sub Committee. Members were advised that he approached the taxi and requested to be taken to Ely. The driver requested £20 in advance of the journey. The complainant agreed to this conditionally as long as the taxi meter was used. At that point the driver refused to use the meter. The complainant stated that he reminded the driver that he was obliged to use the meter for this journey and the driver stated that it was a busy night therefore he was refusing to use the meter. When the complainant stated that he would report the matter to the licensing authority the driver became agitated. The complainant then photographed the rear of the vehicle and proceeded to look for another taxi. He eventually booked an Uber vehicle, the fare was £13.50.
Responding to a question from the Sub Committee, the complainant stated that he could not be certain that the driver before him was the driver of the vehicle on the night in question. However, he was certain that the vehicle in the photograph was the vehicle involved. The Sub Committee was invited to view the digital date stamp of the photograph which confirmed that the photograph was taken at 0525 hours on the morning of 5 February 2023. The complaint also stated that he emailed the Licensing Authority with details of the incident immediately upon returning home.
The driver confirmed that he was the sole driver of the vehicle and nobody else used the vehicle.
RESOLVED – That the driver receives a written warning for refusal to use the taxi meter. The Sub Committee accepted that the photograph provided by the complainant was valid and the driver was the driver of the vehicle at the time.
(2)
Application 2
The Sub Committee were asked to consider a report received from Uber regarding the conduct of a hackney carriage / private hire driver licensed by the authority. The report indicated that the driver has had his Uber account permanently deactivated due to a series of complaints of a similar nature from customers on the platform. The complaints related to a number of inappropriate comments, advances and personal intimate questions made by the driver whilst transporting customers.
The driver addressed the Sub Committee. The driver stated that he was not made aware of all the incidents in question by Uber and that Uber had handled the complaints ‘unprofessionally’. It was alleged that Uber had questioned him about one of the incidents when he had passengers in his vehicle. Uber also corresponded with him but the correspondence addressed to the wrong name despite repeated attempts to correct this.
Members were advised that Uber had asked non-specific open-ended questions that the driver felt unable to answer. It was confirmed that he had received an email from Uber stating that he had broken their Code of Practice and he was no longer able to work for them.
The driver was asked to respond to each of the incidents set out in the report. The driver stated that he couldn’t remember the first incident from five years ago as it was not brought to his attention at the time. The second incident was discussed with Uber but there were passengers in his vehicle and he was unable to hear what was being said by Uber. He had no recollection of the third or the fourth incident. The fifth incident was discussed but he felt unable to answer the open-ended questioning put to him.
Members were advised that since the termination of his Uber account the driver had attempted to communicate with them but this was proving difficult. It was also alleged that Uber had acted illegally in reporting the matter to the Licensing Authority. The driver stated that he had been a licensed driver for 19 years and he had an excellent rating on the Uber platform.
RESOLVED – that the driver complete the SQA for Professional Drivers within 3 months. The Sub Committee has concerns about the driver’s pattern of behaviour across multiple incidents that amounted to unprofessional conduct.
(3)
Application 3
The Sub Committee were asked to consider an application for a hackney carriage / private hire licence. The applicant had a conviction under Section 5 for using threatening words and behaviour. The applicant was asked to outline the incident which led to the conviction.
Members were advised that the driver was involved with a collision with another driver. Both parties had pulled into a lay-by to exchange details. A third party individual approached and attempted to interject into the conversation. An argument ensued during which the applicant called the third party a racist.
Police attended the scene. Details were exchanged and the applicant left. Subsequently the driver was asked to attend a police station and he was charged. The allegations were denied and the matter proceeded to court. The applicant stated that in court the Duty Solicitor told him not to worry. He was unable to satisfactorily follow the proceedings due to a problem with his hearing aid. He was found guilty.
The driver stated that he has been a licensed driver in Newport for 9 years without incident.
RESOLVED – That the application for a hackney carriage / private hire drivers licence be approved.

Case 1
Members considered complaint received from a Member of the public that a driver had refused a fare.
Members were advised that a private hire booking was made in order to transport a vulnerable passenger with learning disabilities from the Millennium Centre to their home address. The passenger had participated in a performance at the Millennium Centre and he appeared in stage make up and a ‘drag’ costume. The complainant stated that the driver refused to take the passenger and said that they would need to book another vehicle. The passenger was not intoxicated, though their speech is affected by their disability.
The driver stated that he refused the fare because the passenger was intoxicated and travelling alone. He was concerned that the passenger may become sick during the journey so he cancelled the booking.
The complainant stated that at no point did the driver raise concerns about the passenger being intoxicated. The complaint stated that he would have challenged the driver at the time if that was the case.
Responding to questions from the Sub Committee the driver stated that he often worked on Friday and Saturday evenings and he regularly took fares from customers who were intoxicated.
RESOLVED – That the Hackney Carriage / Private Hire licence be suspended for 7 days and the driver be required to complete the SQA professional driver qualification within 3 months.

She decided to take a photograph and report the matter to the private hire operator. The driver of the vehicle then exited the vehicle and an exchange occurred. It was alleged that the driver then followed the complainant and a further more heated altercation occurred. The complainant stated that she was concerned by the driver’s behaviour and for her safety.
The driver accepted that he was parked on double yellow lines. However, he was collecting a passenger with Downs Syndrome from a nearly premises. The driver explained that the fare was a regular booking and he always parked in that place because passengers with Downs Syndrome need consistency. The driver stated that noticed the complainant taking photographs of his vehicle. He attempted to explain the situation to the complainant. He denied following the complainant or that a further altercation occurred.
Members questioned both parties in order to clarify the sequence of events.
RESOLVED – That no further action be taken.
(3)
Case 3
The Sub Committee considered a complaint from a passenger who alleged that a driver had dismissed her instructions regarding which directions to take. The driver had also driven dangerously, in excess of the speed limit and had attempted to overcharge for the journey.
The driver addressed the Sub Committee. He advised that he was working on the rank in Mill Lane. A customer approached the vehicle and asked if he used the taxi meter. Two passengers entered the vehicle. The first drop-off was in Canton and the second in Rhiwbina. The driver entered the postcodes into his satnav. After dropping the first passenger in Canton the driver stated that when travelling along Western Avenue he missed the turn off at Gabalfa. The remaining passenger became agitated, she was upset and shouting.
The driver denied that he was travelling in excess of the speed limit. He apologised for missing the turn off.
The complainant stated that after dropping her friend in Canton the vehicle was travelling along Western Avenue. She instructed the driver to take the Gabalfa turn off as they were approaching it. The drivers satnav was also instructing him to take the exit. The driver at first sat in silence and then shrugged his shoulders as they passed the exit saying ‘too late now’
The complainant immediately telephoned her husband. She stated that she was panicking and concerned for her safety. She asked her husband to track her phone using an app installed on the device. The driver took the next available exit. He was driving erratically. He attempted to re-join Western Avenue in the wrong direction and needed to perform an emergency stop. The driver then travelled in excess of the speed limit and continued to refused to take instructions. The complainant provided evidence of the route taken by the vehicle and the speeds at which the vehicle was travelling downloaded from the app on her phone.
Responding to questions the complainant stated that she was in a similar position during visit to London. The driver on that occasion took her to the wrong hotel. However, that driver was extremely reassuring, courteous and apologetic. This driver did nothing to reassure her which only increased her anxiety.
At the end of the journey the driver asked for £35 fare. The complainant stated that she has taken the exact same journey on numerous occasions and the fare should be approximately £21.
The Sub Committee asked questions. Members attempted to clarify how an experienced taxi driver would ignore the instructions from a passenger and their own satnav. The driver stated that he did not know why he missed the exit and accepted that he had made a mistake.
RESOLVED – That the Hackney Carriage / Private Hire Drivers licence be suspended for 28 days for conduct and attempting to overcharge a passeneger.
(4)
Case 4
The Sub Committee were asked to determine whether a driver was a fit and proper person to hold a hackney carriage / private hire drivers licence. Members were advised that due to an administrative error a driver was granted a licence application on 2 May 2023. The application should have been listed for the Committee’s consideration as the driver had previously had a licence revoked. The decision to revoke was challenged and subsequently upheld in the Magistrates Court.
Members were advised that in October 2018 South Wales Police informed the Licensing Authority that the driver had been arrested on suspicion of the rape of a 16-year old female passenger. The driver submitted an email detailing his version of events. All charges against the driver were eventually dropped and the driver remains free of conviction. However, the Public Protection Sub Committee resolved to revoke the licence. An application was made in January 2022 and the Public Protection Sub Committee resolved to refused the application.
Members questioned the driver regarding the events that took place on the evening in question. The driver’s representative raised concerns that the Sub Committee were effectively rehearing the original complaint. There were no questions put to the driver regarding his conduct since the revocation of his licence in 2018.
The Chairperson stated that the Members present were not present in 2018 and they were entitled to ascertain what had occurred that resulted in the revocation and the subsequent appeal being upheld by the Magistrates Court. The Chairperson reminded all parties of the fit and proper person test that is applied when determining these matters.
RESOLVED – That the hackney carriage / private hire drivers licence be revoked as the Sub Committee did not consider the driver to be a fit and proper person to hold a licence.
