This PHV was recently suspended until the tyre was replaced. The driver stated that he had hit a kerb a few hours earlier. A reminder to all drivers, if you hit a kerb, check your tyres immediately and seek a professional inspection if there’s any damage.
In the early hours of 1/3/26 LCC Enforcement officers encountered a Wolverhampton licensed PHV driver suspected of plying for hire in Liverpool city centre.
The incident was reported to Wolverhampton. Following a review hearing on 8/10/26, the driver’s licence was revoked with IE
Can ALL private hire vehicles please be aware that you are not permitted to use the bus lane on Upper Parliament Street, this is operational & ANPR cameras are in use and you will be issued a PCN for driving in it.
Another PHV checked displaying an expired licence plate! This PHV plate shows an expiry date of 19 August 2026, yet the vehicle was still displaying it on 9 Oct 2026. The PHV was licensed, enforcement action taken.
Licensing enforcement was out in force at Labour Party Conference last week. Compliance was generally high, with lots of positive feedback from delegates who used licensed vehicles. A great example of how effective licensing helps deliver safe, reliable transport for everyone.

October is Domestic Abuse awareness month 🤝
Throughout this month, we will be raising awareness of the warning signs of domestic abuse, with a particular focus on coercive and controlling behaviour.
Do you ever feel ⬇️
- Belittled or put down?
- That you are changing your behaviour to keep the peace?
- Blamed for the abuse or arguments?
- Isolated from your family and friends?
- Stopped from going to college or work?
- Accused of things you haven’t done?
- Restricted in what you can wear, who you can see, where you can go or what you can think?
You're not to blame for what's happening. You're not alone.
Domestic abuse isn't always between partners. It can also happen within families, including cases where a child aged 16 or over is abusive towards a parent.
🚩 Our Red Flag campaign was shaped by victim-survivors with lived experience and highlights behaviours that are often dismissed, excused or overlooked, but can be signs of domestic abuse.
Too often, people experiencing domestic abuse don't recognise the red flags - by helping people spot the warning signs, we can encourage more people to seek support and report abuse when they're ready ❤️
If you need any support, advice or feel like you've spotted the 'red flags, please visit our website, we're here to help ❤️ orlo.uk/XPIz0
