Britons could see taxi fares hiked in the near future in a bid to offset high fuel prices caused by the Middle East crisis. North Yorkshire Council has proposed increasing the maximum cost of taking a taxi in the region by five per cent to help the trade sector. The council explained that maximum fares were introduced in July 2024, but since the conflict in the Middle East, the price of petrol has increased by 18 per cent, with diesel increasing by a staggering 32 per cent. It will discuss plans this week to increase the mileage rate for taxi…

A new transatlantic beef agreement approved by Donald Trump has divided British farmers amid warnings the deal could overwhelmingly favour American producers over the UK industry.The arrangement establishes a quota allowing 13,000 tonnes of beef to be traded between Britain and the United States.American trade groups have described the agreement as mutually beneficial, insisting British farmers will gain the same opportunities as their US counterparts.The National Farmers’ Union (NFU) has backed the deal and said it could generate up to £70million annually for British beef producers.The organisation argued the agreement represents the only realistic route towards securing preferential access to…

Older motorists could soon face new restrictions as Labour considers fresh measures in a bid to improve road safety across the country.Alongside the introduction of the Road Safety Strategy in January, the Government launched several consultations to hear the opinions of drivers and organisations on key motoring issues.One of the measures included potentially moving away from the current system of motorists self-declaring any medical issues that could impact their eyesight.At present, drivers over the age of 70 are expected to report if they have any medical conditions that impact their ability to be behind the wheel.The consultation proposes introducing mandatory…

In performance terms, three promotion places make sense. The top tier of the National League is virtually fully professional and the gap in standard to League Two is negligible.While two recently promoted teams – Barrow and Harrogate – have been relegated from the EFL this season, Bromley, promoted out of the National League two years ago, have just won the League Two title. Notts County and Chesterfield, who contested the 2023 National League promotion final, are facing each other in the League Two play-off semi-finals, while Wrexham, also a National League club as recently as 2023, only missed out on…
