PC Holly Andrews has been working alongside Licensing Officers from Buckinghamshire Council carrying out compliance checks on taxis and PHVs in the town.

Mehtab Anwar, 30, a full-time Uber driver and one of the strike organisers, stated that "the recent fare prices are unsustainable, making it difficult for drivers to earn a fair income."

A Bradford Uber driver, Khurram Mukhtar, was fined and ordered to pay costs after he admitted to refusing a fare from a blind woman with a guide dog.

The checks were part of a collaborative effort between Ribble Valley Borough Council and the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) to ensure the safety of licensed vehicles in the area.

Gareth Wilkinson had applied for renewal of his taxi driver's licence and a private hire vehicle licence, but his application was rejected unanimously by the committee.

The incident on Woodgreen Avenue happened sometime between Sunday night and Monday morning, 18 August.

Officers were called to the M23 following reports of a collision involving the driver of an Audi and the driver of a VW.

Kyle Henry, 32, punched Miah Muktar so hard he collapsed to the ground "like a sack of potatoes," leaving him with what the court called "permanent and it seems irreversible injuries.
