I think somebody's having a laugh here, but this is what I'd do.
1) I would contact the police, namely the officer who is in charge of my case and I would ask him to put it in writing that they have no objections or concerns about the council re-issuing me with my taxi driving licence................"because if they do have objections, you're not going to get your licence back without a great deal of work.
2) If they do agree and send you a letter, send it in to your chief licencing officer with a copy going to the council's legal dept. asking them to re-instate your licence. And ask them to reply within 7 - 10 days.
3) If the police do not give you some form of documentation saying they have no objection to you being issued a licence again, then treat it as you are not getting it back. Make sure you get represented by a solicitor if you have no proof from the police that they have no objections. Even with a solicitor ,I have seen this type of thing drag on simply because they didn't check if the police had no objections. Just because your bail time has run out doesn't mean they are finished with you.
4) Before you allow yourself to be put before a committee make sure that you have everything in place to prove what you are saying, as to why they should re-instate your licence, because if they decide not to grant your licence back it now becomes even worse. From then on you would have to prove that they had been wrong. If you are not ready to go before the committee then cancel it until you are. A committee can be made up of councillors or even licencing officers or council employees, if the council have devolved responsibilities to the licencing section.
The first para here is fookin suicide INVITE the police to justify their actions so far against you ffs absolutely barmy, if i were repping you and you did that i would walk away leaVE YER ON YER jACK jONES
TALK TO a solicitor asap i reckon your gonna get slaughtered , but sincerely hope not
