Nearly 150 taxis across Manchester and Salford staged a two-pronged protest against the introduction of Clean Air Zone (CAZ) charges today (Febuary 3).
Drivers fear the new regulations in the 500 square mile CAZ will force many of them off the road because of the increased cost of buying compliant vehicles.
Some 100 taxi drivers assembled at the Etihad Stadium before making their way into Manchester city centre, blowing their horns as they looped past mayor Andy Burnham's offices in Oxford Road.
