BRADFORD Council is investigating a report that a taxi driver defecated on a school playing field in the city.

The taxi driver was spotted by two students who then reported it to council wardens.

The driver was reportedly a private hire taxi driver licensed with Bradford Council.

A spokesperson for the Council said: “An incident has been reported to the taxi licensing service.

"We cannot comment on individual investigations but all reports of incidents of Bradford Council-licensed private hire or Hackney Carriage drivers behaving in illegal or unacceptable ways are investigated and the appropriate action is taken.”
