Members of the town hall’s Taxi and Miscellaneous Committee will consider a bid from the city’s Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) union taxi drivers for a variation to the Hackney Carriage table of fares.

If accepted, it would mean the cost for a two mile journey would increase to £5.40 between 7am and 11pm, and to £6.80 after 11pm, Sundays and bank holidays.
