• Tighter controls on transport firms carrying explosive or radio-active loads was called for this week by a chief public health inspector.
The move follows two incidents in Staffordshire when a tanker caught fire and when a lorry crashed, scattering radio-active material over a road.
Mr. George Leader, chief public health inspector for the Lichfield rural council, says in a report On the incidents: "There must be something radically wrong with procedure generally if one has to await a catastrophe or near-catastrophe before stringent precautionary regulations are promulgated."
0 Calling for tighter regulations covering the movement of dangerous materials by road, he says: "I trust that the authorities will, in the light of recent events, considerably strengthen existing legislation."
• Next month a group training scheme for road hauliers will be presented with a training vehicle by the RTITB. With encouragement from the Board's local officers, 10 hauliers in Burnley. Nelson and Colne have set up this North East Lancs group scheme.
