£10 million of this investment is supporting the trial of wireless charging technologies for taxis in Nottingham, enabling drivers to \u201ctop-up\u201d charge while waiting for their next fare.

The way 800 loyal and experienced workers were treated by P&O Ferries was shameful and utterly unacceptable. There is no excuse for their actions \u2013 and we continue to hold them to account.<\/del><\/p>
