Taxi driver has licence suspended by police at Manchester Airport
A taxi driver has had their licence suspended by police at Manchester Airport.
A joint licensing operation at Manchester Airport was carried out this week by Greater Manchester Police’s Commercial Vehicle Unit (CVU) and City of Wolverhampton Council Licensing which led to more than 30 taxi and private hire vehicle checks being carried out.
During the checks, four drivers were issued with compliance notices and one driver had their taxi licence suspended following further investigation.
A spokesperson for GMP Traffic said: “Officers from CVU were working in partnership with WVProtect at Manchester Airport.
“During the operation, over 30 taxi checks were conducted, with 4 drivers receiving compliance notices and 1 driver having their taxi licence suspended.”
The operation forms part of ongoing collaborative efforts between police and licensing authorities to maintain taxi and private hire standards and ensure public safety at major transport hubs.
