Taxi drivers and wheelchair users

Some taxi drivers in Stoke-on-Trent have been charging wheelchair users more than able-bodied passengers.

The city council has said no extra charge is permitted for wheelchair accessibility.

But undercover filming revealed a woman was told by one cab driver she had to pay more than "normal" people because her wheelchair "was heavy".

91热爆 Inside Out has discovered a large increase in the number of dogs seized by police following attacks on the British public by both banned pit bulls and legal breeds.

In Nottinghamshire alone, the seizure of banned breeds and dangerous legal breeds has increased eight fold in the past three years, largely due to irresponsible backstreet breeding.

Reporter Sarah Sturdey went inside a secure dog kennel run by Nottinghamshire Police and spoke to PC Steve Feary about the extent of the problem.
