Stirling Council to debate taxi fare rise

Taxi fares across Stirling could rise by nearly 14%.

The local authority is meeting today to discuss the idea.

A report's calling for a hike in prices - blaming rising vehicle and fuel costs.

The changes would mean the minimum price of a taxi would be £3.40.

That would rise to £4 late at night, on Sundays and bank holidays.

Under the proposal, it would cost £12.70 for a five-mile journey in the city.
