Following a hearing on Monday, April 23, Brighton & Hove City Council’s licensing panel has decided against renewing UBER Britannia Ltd’s (UBL) Private Hire Operator Licence in the city. The unanimous decision was taken because members of the licensing panel were not satisfied that UBL are a “fit and proper person” to hold an operator’s licence under the terms of Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976 and the council’s licensing objectives.
