Who writes this stuff? Reads like Hyndburn is an area of Wolverhampton.
(And no jokes about it being written by a forum contributor, please
)And, to be fair, although the article above is from the Lancs Telegraph, it's just rehashing a Lancs Police Facebook post:

On Tuesday 12th September 2023, local Hyndburn neighbourhood policing officers with partner agency Hyndburn Borough Council licensing office have conducted a Taxi Safety Operation.
A total of 23 taxis from the Hyndburn, Wolverhampton along with the Blackburn Borough Council were checked.
A number of drivers have been warned regarding failing to wear their drivers badges.
A taxi was issued with an immediate prohibition notice, another was issued with a 7 day delayed prohibition notice, both drivers licences were suspended with immediate effect.
A couple were issued with delayed prohibition notices, one with a sec 38 and improvement notices issued to several taxis.
The aim of the Operation is to make sure that the community we serve can travel safely within local taxis.
Thank you for your continued support.
