Taxi
TAXI fares could rise if proposals are approved by councillors next week.
The proposals for Eastbourne concern the maximum amount Hackney carriages can charge.
The proposed increase – the first in the borough for ten years – is backed by 74 Hackney carriage proprietors in the town, about 84 per cent of the town’s total trade.
Licensing committee members will make a decision on Thursday and any changes would happen no later than November 2.
