Prosecutions
i. Prosecution for unlicensed taxi plying for hire in Buckhurst Hill
Mr Ashuque Ahmed of Dalkeith Road Ilford Essex was fined £346 with costs of £300 and a victim surcharge of £34 after he pleaded guilty at a hearing in Chelmsford Magistrates Court on 11th October 2018, to plying for hire in an unlicensed taxi at Buckhurst Hill Underground Station. The Magistrates stated that Mr Ahmed was an experienced driver and the period when he was not insured to drive a hackney carriage because the vehicle was not licensed could have resulted in a catastrophe for those who hired his vehicle.
Environment & Neighbourhood Officers carried out late night spot checks on 25th March 2018 at an unofficial Hackney Carriage Taxi rank outside Buckhurst Hill Underground station. Mr Ashuque Ahmed, a licensed Hackney Carriage driver was at the front of the rank waiting for a passenger. Checks revealed that the Hackney Carriage licence for the vehicle being driven by Mr Ahmed had expired on 27th February 2018 and had not been renewed.
As a result of this action, the Hackney Carriage driver’s licence held by Mr Ahmed was also suspended and he surrendered it back to the Council without appealing the Council’s decision.
ii. Prosecution for noise nuisance
In Chelmsford Magistrates Court on 11th October 2018 Victoria Lawn of Brickenden Court Waltham Abbey was prosecuted for 5 offences of breaching the requirements of a Noise Abatement Notice served on her on 3rd October 2017 requiring her to not cause a statutory noise nuisance to her neighbours due to playing music and any other amplified sound. The offences occurred on 4th January, 20th February, 15th 23rd and 26th May 2018. Ms. Lawn failed to attend at the court for a second time and the offences were proved in her absence.
The Magistrates imposed a fine of £180 for the offence that occurred on 26th May 2018 with no separate penalty for the other offences. She was also ordered to pay a contribution towards the Council’s prosecution costs of £150 together with a Victim Surcharge £30. The Environment & Neighbourhoods team are happy to report that no further complaints about noise have been received.
