City of Wolverhampton Council’s Licensing Compliance team joined a multi-agency operation in Cheshire as part of this year’s Tyre Safety Month campaign.
The team worked alongside Cheshire Police, Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service, and Cheshire West Council Licensing to promote safer roads through proper tyre maintenance and inspection.
The joint operation focused on raising awareness of tyre safety standards and ensuring vehicles met the legal requirements for tread depth, pressure, and overall condition. Officers inspected vehicles on-site, offering advice to drivers and reminding them of the importance of regular checks.
A City of Wolverhampton Council Public Protection spokesperson said: “As part of Tyre Safety Month, we joined Cheshire Police, Cheshire Fire Services and Cheshire West Council Licensing to promote safer roads. Safe tyres equal safe roads. We’re pleased to confirm all Wolverhampton vehicles passed their tyre checks.”
Tyre Safety Month, organised each October, aims to highlight the risks of driving with worn or damaged tyres. Campaigners stress that maintaining correct tyre pressure and tread depth is crucial to prevent accidents, improve fuel efficiency, and extend tyre lifespan.
Licensing authorities across the country have been taking part in similar operations to ensure licensed vehicles remain roadworthy and compliant with safety standards. For taxi and private hire drivers, tyre maintenance is a key part of meeting licensing conditions and protecting passenger safety.
The successful inspection result for Wolverhampton drivers reflects ongoing efforts by the council to uphold vehicle safety standards working both within and outside its borders.
