rAA SPECIAL sub-committee investigating the affairs of Southport Transport Department has been depleted by the resignation of three Liberal members, who complain of "useless and pointless criticism." One of them is Cllr. Dr. S. J. Hepworth, vice-chairman of the transport committee.
In a letter to the Town Clerk, CHI% Dr. Hepworth, leader of the Liberal group, said it was obvious that no significant recommendation was going to be made by the sub-committee in the near future and that the sole aim now was delay.
" You will be well aware of some of the useless and pointless criticism to which I refer and also the lack of constructive criticism. . . . We will not be a party to any further undermining of the duties of the transport committee."
The sub-committee was set up at the recommendation of the finance committee and has held several meetings. It comprises members of the finance and transport committees, who set out to consider the transport department's financial position and make recommendations for future policy.
LIVESTOCK HAULIERS FIGHT CORPORATION
ACOMPULSORY purchase order has been made by Bradford Corporation for 7+ acres of land at Allerton, owned by a livestock haulage company, James C. Ashworth. Ltd. But Mr. James Ashworth, managing director, last week contested the order at a Ministry of Housing inquiry conducted by Mr. I. Fairweather.
Mr. R. K. Denby, for Mr. Ashworth. said the company were the only livestock hauliers in Bradford. The property in question was bought in 1947 and was now used as accommodation for cattle and sheep. When animals were being carried from Scotland and the North to the Midlands and South there had to be a break for them to be fed and rested, so they were kept overnight at Allerton. Other cattle spent the night there because of the closing time of the local slaughterhouse.
Mr. Ashworth added: "We cannot keep livestock on trucks overnight. The police and the R.S.P.C.A. say they should be unloaded."
For the corporation, Mr. D. M. Holland explained that the land was needed for a new housing estate.
Mr. Fairweather closed the inquiry to inspect the site.
