Wolverhampton joint enforcement counties agreement reported

Additionally, on 1 October 2025 City of Wolverhampton Council has entered into an agreement with the following licensing authorities

Telford and Wrekin Co-operative Council.
Ashfield District Council.
Broxtowe Borough Council.
Mansfield District Council.
Newark and Sherwood District Council.
Nottingham City Council.
Rushcliffe Borough Council.
Liverpool City council.
It authorises their Enforcement Teams, pursuant to Section 101 (1) (b) of the Local Government Act 1972, to undertake functions under Sections 68 and 73 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976, as amended.

This means that their enforcement Teams are authorised to inspect and test private hire vehicles licensed by City of Wolverhampton Council working within their respective areas.

Should the vehicle fail the test/inspection, their enforcement teams are authorised to suspend the vehicle licence. The suspension notice will be given in writing, requiring the proprietor to address the issue and present the vehicle for further testing/inspection.

It is important to note that it is an offence if you:
• obstruct the officer
• fail to comply with any requirement properly made acting under this authorisation
• without reasonable cause, fail to give the officer any other assistance or information which he may reasonably require
• make a statement which you know to be false to the officer

An authorisation letter has been issued to those involved
