Glasgow's Licensing and Regulatory Committee has refused to renew a taxi licence held by Craigpark Taxi Service. Police Scotland objected. An officer told councillors that Steesh Singh, who manages the licence, had engaged in "a course of behaviour which was abusive to his partner or ex-partner". Mr Singh had sent abusive text messages, voice notes and phone calls. On one occasion he had held the victim "by the shoulders and wrists" and "used his body to block" her from getting past him. His sentence, as described to the committee, included a six-month supervision period and a £600 fine, and an order to refrain from approaching, contacting or communicating with the victim for 18 months.

The three-year renewal, reference TV10510, was before the committee at the City Chambers on 21 October 2026. The application was received on 1 June 2026. The public report lists a letter from Police Scotland to be tabled, a late objection from the force that might be tabled, and a vehicle that had not been presented for a safety inspection.

In the room
Mr Singh told councillors he had been in a long-term relationship and suspected his partner was having an affair. "It's not my character to act like that. My emotions were all over the place."
Councillor Alex Wilson, SNP, the committee chairman, said: "I understand people have relationship breakdowns. However, you've been found guilty of behaving in a manner that is not becoming of someone, especially when it comes down to action against a female."
Mr Singh's reply was: "I take responsibility for my actions, it's not something I'm proud of."
The committee refused the renewal.
