Taxi driver's license revoked over ties to illegal tobacco sales; stricter checks imposed.

A taxi driver in Redcar and Cleveland lost his license due to links with illegal tobacco and vape sales at retail locations, though no sales were confirmed during his licensing period. The council revoked the license, and new policies require taxi drivers to undergo criminal record checks every six months. Revoked drivers are added to a national register, barring them from getting licenses elsewhere.
