Macclesfield Express
|June 18, 2025
SO many taxis operating in Macclesfield are under a Wolverhampton licence that the West Midland's authority was brought in as part of a police operation.
-
Officers spent a Friday and Saturday inspecting cabs that were operating in Macclesfield and Poynton.
They were at taxi hubs such as train stations and ranks to carry out safety checks and make sure that identifications and other documentation was valid.
Over the weekend 25 out of 60 cabs checked were issued with traffic offence reports.
Police worked with Cheshire East Council and also Wolverhampton Council who were able to run checks on drivers registered there.
Complaints have previously been made about drivers licensed to the Midlands authority in Macclesfield, making it harder for locally registered drivers to pick up business.
