Plans to fit CCTV cameras in taxis have cleared their final hurdle.
Members of the city council's appeals and regulatory committee today gave their seal of approval.
The pilot scheme, costing nearly £100,000, is to be launched in Nottingham – with 100 cabs taking part.
The idea is to make taxi journeys safer for both drivers and passengers.
Police and Crime Commissioner Paddy Tipping, who is helping to fund the project, has said that the move "will help guarantee security for passengers and drivers".
During the meeting today, councillors also agreed that the scheme should be reviewed every six months.
