DESCRIBED by the chairman of the Yorkshire Traffic . Commissioners as "the worst case that has ever been put up" for the type of licence sought, an application to run excursions and tours from north east coast holiday camps was refused in Bridlington last week.
G., R., N. and S. Atkinson sought to operate a maximum of four vehicles on any one day on a group of excursions starting from Thornwick Bay Holiday Camp and a similar group starting from Sea Farm Camp, Flarnborough. They were opposed by East Yorkshire Motor Services, Ltd., on the grounds that this Would cause abstraction from their stage services and own excursions starting from Bridlington.
At a sitting in July a similar application in the name. of G. Atkinson was rejected by the Commissioners "due to the lack of evidence of real need, and/or hardship to campers, particularly having regard to the present facilities which must rely on summer traffic to maintain all the year round services in this area.
Last week, a director and the camp manager of the Thornwick Camp. and two brothers controlling the Sea Farm camp spoke of the difficulties eXperienced by campers in getting to and from Bridlington to take day tours.
During the hearing the chairman commented: "The evidence hardly exists today. It is even worse than it was last time; We have had more evidence from people financially interested in the camps than from a single person resident in the camps. Yet you are applying for more vehicle allowance and a longer period." For the applicants it was pointed out that as the camps were now closed it was impossible to bring camper witnesses.
