with Cambridge City Council’s taxi licensing policy. The Licensing Enforcement Officer confirmed that Mr Buyukdag had been advised to include full details in his booking log but all other matters had been completed satisfactorily. Applicant Mr Buyukdag
confirmed that he had nothing further to add as all the relevant information
was included within the Sub Committees report. At one stage the applicant (who was attending by telephone)
had inadvertently / mistakenly disconnected his call and, until he was
reconnected, the meeting was adjourned. Members confirmed that they had no questions to ask Mr Buyukdag. Summing Up The Licensing
