A demonstration by around 400 Hackney carriage drivers in Nottingham this morning caused chaos during the rush hour.

The drivers were protesting about a row over private hire vehicles picking up passengers in the street.

They say the number of unbooked private cars picking up passengers is growing, which the council disputes.

Many people tweeted their frustration about the delays.
