SINCE an A-licence vehicle for bulk flour transport was granted last year
to Lawtry, Ltd., Helperthorpe, the demand for this type of haulage had greatly increased, it was stated at Bridlington, last week, when the company sought the addition of a similar vehicle to their A licence.
Mr. R. E. PatersOn, for the applicants, said they would spend £11,000 on the new vehicle because so many customers were now converting to bulk storage. Mr. G. Lawtry said his main tonnage was still in bags, but any displaced vehicles would be converted to bulk
carriers' when required. His " flats" would not be used on other work, he added.
Maj. F. S. Eastwood, Yorkshire Licensing Authority, granted the application. There were no objectors.
