A Keighley private hire company has had its operating licence revoked.

Staff from Bradford Council's hackney carriages licensing department - accompanied by police - visited the Albert Yard, Church Street, premises of First Choice Private Hire yesterday morning.

Inspector Mark Allsop, from the Keighley Neighbourhood Policing Team, said the decision to revoke the licence followed complaints from nearby businesses and members of the public.

He said the complaints concerned improperly parked taxis and breaches of planning and insurance regulations.
