Taxi Driver Online :: View topic - Not much to see from Wolverhampton licensing, except PR

Tonight, Compliance Officers are working in Liverpool with colleagues from @lcc_licensing
and @MerPolTraffic carrying out compliance checks on licensed vehicles. So far the Police have seized a PHV (not a @WolvesCouncil PHV) as the driver is disqualified from driving! ^DB

Wolverhampton Compliance Team out with @WMPolice
and @DVSAgovuk
checking vehicles taking students to their Proms, ensuring they are insured and licensed. 3 vehicles seized by Police who are reporting for no insurance. ^DB

Last night, Compliance worked with @gmptraffic
across Greater Manchester. 16 @WolvesCouncil
PHVs checked, 1 PHV suspended due to an engine management fault and a defective rear brake light. The compliance of the vehicles was high but drivers, wear your badges!#WearYourBadge ^DB

Yesterday, Compliance Officers worked in Chester with colleagues from @cheshirepolice
carrying out compliance checks on licensed vehicles. Police dealt with 1 driver (not a @WolvesCouncil
PHD) who was giving driving lessons in a local PHV! ^DB

Seems to be a wee bit more activity on the Wolverhampton 'public protection' Twitter account in the past few days - maybe related to recent news and events And maybe a tad different from their normal stuff as well... (Wish I hadn't started this now - they were actually posting stuff when I was trying to get all this together But weeks at a time without anything posted at times, then suddenly they're coming in thick and fast -wonder why that might be? ) This is the account here, if anyone wants to see the posts in their original format, or in case I've made any mistakes... And all photos are from this account, apart from the last one. https://x.com/WVProtect

This one on Friday - lucky the car seized just happened not to be a Wolves-plated car On Friday June 27, Wolves City Council wrote: Tonight, Compliance Officers are working in Liverpool with colleagues from @lcc_licensing and @MerPolTraffic carrying out compliance checks on licensed vehicles.

This is certainly a bit different from their normal stuff. Not entirely clear whether these limos are Wolves-plated cars...

This was posted today, and can't recall seeing this about the badges before But, I mean, only one of 16 vehicles with any issues On Sunday June 29, Wolves City Council wrote: Last night, Compliance worked with @gmptraffic across Greater Manchester. 16 @WolvesCouncil PHVs checked, 1 PHV suspended due to an engine management fault and a defective rear brake light.

Also posted today. Funnily enough, we're not told if any issues were found. And the one issue that is mentioned wasn't a Wolves car, conveniently enough On Sunday June 29, Wolves City Council wrote: Yesterday, Compliance Officers worked in Chester with colleagues from @cheshirepolice carrying out compliance checks on licensed vehicles.

Funnily enough - in view of the driving lesson stuff - someone had posted this below one of the earlier (unrelated) posts, asking if this was legal Response came there none

Is that picture above a spoof? If not then exactly what customer base has the driving instructor? The driver being trained must be a licensed PH driver who doesn't have a DVLA license.

I hadn't thought about that angle at all, Sussex This is the driving school's website, and someone has left a one-star review commenting on the PHV plate Quote: Wolverhampton taxi plates learner car exploiting the system and cross border jobs ruining the trade for local drivers. https://aryandriving.co.uk/ Wouldn't be surprised if that was the same person who took the photo, and who may well be the driver of the non-Wolves PHV in the photo above

...and forgot to say, it certainly checks out on the Wolves licensing register. And the driving school also exists, and the only thing about the photo that possibly looks faked is maybe the PHV plate. But it certainly does exist as a PHV plate on that DVLA number plate
