Local policing teams and Bradford Council’s Taxi Enforcement Team have carried out a series of taxi compliance checks across the district to maintain high safety standards.
During the operation, 12 vehicles were inspected by officers, with seven suspended from service due to non-compliance issues. One driver was also referred for further review regarding licence suitability.
The joint initiative between West Yorkshire Police’s Neighbourhood Policing Team and the council’s enforcement officers aims to ensure that all licensed taxi services in Bradford continue to meet the necessary standards for public safety.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesperson said the targeted checks form part of ongoing work to uphold confidence in the city’s licensed taxi trade and to make sure vehicles and drivers meet legal and safety obligations.
Passengers were also reminded to check that vehicles are clean and well-maintained, that drivers wear their taxi licence ID, and that they act professionally and drive safely.
Members of the public are encouraged to report any safety or compliance concerns directly to Bradford Council’s Taxi Enforcement Team through the council’s website, using the vehicle registration or taxi plate number where possible.
