I see taxi fares are 20 per cent dearer in Brighton than the national average (The Argus, November 13).
As fares are set by the council, I rang them to complain only to be told a further increase is in the pipeline. This is to come into force after Christmas.
One wonders exactly how expensive Brighton and Hove City Council wishes to make it for people to live in the City, especially after the huge increase in council tax and the horror stories we hear about future increases.
Perhaps the Office of Fair Trading should look into the unfair rates we have to pay and the cartels at play in the taxi game.
