The Committee received and considered a report of the Community Services Director seeking a change in the current procedure of Members determining whether or not a vehicle was in an exceptional condition in view of its age.

RESOLVED
That applications for vehicles of an Exceptional Condition be determined by the Licensing Officer using the Exceptional Condition guidelines.
