TAXIS were found to be up to date with regulations after on the spot inspections were carried out.
A recent on the spot inspection of taxis carried out by Blackburn with Darwen Council found the majority are staying up to date with licensing regulations.
All vehicles were found to be in a safe condition, with just three given a week to put right more minor problems such as door signs missing, flat spare tyre and number plate light out.
Cllr Jane Oates the Council’s Assistant Executive Member for Environment, said: "I’m really pleased that the taxi trade in Blackburn with Darwen has come up to the mark and is keeping their vehicles in a safe condition.
"Maintaining a high standard of vehicles is something we take seriously and we carry out regular checks to ensure taxis and their drivers are meeting licensing requirements."
