Drivers and company owners in some situations will have to appear before Pendle's Taxi Licensing Committee
It comes after unannounced taxi safety checks in November and January found high failure rates with issues including worn tyres, brake problems, loose wheel nuts, loose batteries, faulty lights, seal belts and fluid leaks.
A total of 13 measures were backed at the latest full meeting of Pendle Council. Speaking there, Lib-Dem Coun David Whipp, the deputy council leader, said: "As part of the shared administration, we agreed there should be a review of taxi safety. I think this new report makes excellent suggestions. Recent checks have picked up a significant number of defects. If daily checks had been properly followed, the number of defects would have reduced significantly.
Labour Coun Mohammed Iqbal said: "Councillor McGladdery is right to say there has been fierce debate. The failure rate was truly shocking under him. Taxi businesses have been given a warning and incidents have reduced. Some offenders have been dealt with by the taxi committee. Independent Coun Yasser Iqbal said: "I agree in principle about this. But it's the app I have some issues with and with recent consultation.
