    Taxi fares in Nottingham are to rise by more than 15% next month.

    Nottingham's black cab drivers claim the increase is due to inflation, petrol prices and the new electric cabs, which have recently been introduced.

    The price increase has been approved by the city council and will affect fares during the day and night.

    Unite union representative, Basheer Ahmed Latif, said the rise wasn't intended to come in so close to Christmas. He said a request was made to the city council to increase fares back in May.
