Previously, Falkirk councillors agreed to bring forward the lengthy process that needs to be followed to raise taxi fares, in a bid to help the trade which is now being hit with massive hikes in fuel costs.
Taxi tariffs are set by the council in a legal process that usually takes months of research and consultation - but spiralling prices at the pumps have meant that drivers cannot wait that long to raise their prices.
