Taxi drivers 'not safe' in the West Midlands
Taxi Drivers in the West Midlands say more needs to be done to protect them at work.
There's a demonstration taking place in Wolverhampton in St Peter's Square.
It's been organised by the Private Hire Drivers Alliance (PHDA) to raise awareness of some of the issues they face including safer working conditions.
They also say some areas are no go areas to drive in, particularly in light of recent riots - one has even had a knife pulled out on him in his cab recently.
This was highlighted at a local community meeting held in Birmingham recently to tell Police officers about the dangers they are facing.
