ALTHOUGH British Road Services had sought traffic from Calder Vale Glassworks, it was obvious they could not supply vehicles at short notice, the Yorkshire Deputy Licensing Authority, Mr. H. A. Randolph, was told last week. Mr. Lindsay, commercial manager at the glassworks, said that British Railways had also lost his traffic because of the high rate of breakages.
He was supporting an application by B. and A. Pacey (Wakefield), Ltd., for the addition of two vehicles to their A licence (The Commercial Motor, February 21). Mr. LindSay pointed out that he had a contract to supply 50,000 bottles to the Netherlands andhe -wanted -Pacey's to
carry the traffic. • • • • •
Mr. T. B. Atkinson, objecting for the British Transport Commission, said that as Mr. Lindsay had never tried }I.R.S., and as they had shown that they carried glass and had vehicles available, • their objection. had been established. There-. fore, the existing facilities must be tern-led suitable and sufficient.
Mr. J. Moxon, for Pacey's, 'replied that he resented the attitude of B.R.S., who wanted to abstract traffic from another haulier. They had vehicles unlicensed because there was no work, yet they still employed the drivers. No wonder the B.T.C. had a deficit.
Mr. Randolph said although the application might be honest and reasonable, he would have to reserve his decision.
QUICKER REPORTS IN FUTURE IN future. the annual reports of the Traffic Commissioners will be published more expeditiously. Mr. Harold Watkinson, Minister of Transport, told the House of Commons last week that the reports for 1956-57 would be ready shortly.
He said the reason why the reports for the year ended March 31, 1956, had only recently been published was that his department had been doing other work.
