## Resource

Seven Highland female councillors are demanding an independent review of the council’s licensing process after a convicted rapist had his taxi license renewed — a decision made in secret that sparked outrage and led to four male councillors resigning. The push focuses on fixing how the “fit and proper person” test is applied, prioritizing women’s safety, and respecting police objections. If approved by full council, the review will begin by year’s end with findings due by March 2027 — a bold step toward restoring public trust and preventing future failures.
