ALORRY driver, who parked his vehicle outside .a fruiterer's shop in High Street, Huntingdon, for 18 Minutes and was later fined £3 by the borough justices for causing an unnecessary obstruction, lost his appeal before. Hunts Appeals Committee last. week.
, Appellant was John Farrell, Mawson Road, Cambridge, employed by Pordage and Co., fruit wholesalers. He told the committee that his work was to call on retailers and sell fruit and vegetables Which had to be shown on the vehicle. The customer selected what he required and the goods were then taken into the shop.
When he arrived at a Mr. Crowe's shop, Mr. Crowe was -serving customers and Farrell had to wait 10 minutes before he could speak to him, A constable said that Farrell was standing beside the lorry outside the shop for 10 minutes, and at intervals the owner. came out and spoke to him. Later Farrell unloaded a box, talked to Mr. Crowe for three minutes and then took another box into the shop. He showed something on the lorry and made an entry in his delivery book. This took three minutes.
During the 18 minutes that the lorry was parked, there was a continual flow of traffic each way. but it was broken into a single line by the presence of the lorry FEEDER SERVICE GRANTED: "PIRACY" CHARGE IRREGULAR operations, which had taken place under the cover of a short-period licence, were described as " piracy " by Mr. W. R. Hargrave, before the Yorkshire Licensing Authority, at Leeds on Tuesday. He was objecting for East Yorkshire Motor Services, Ltd., and United Automobile Services, Ltd., to an application by Messrs'. Elwell Bros., Rotherham, for a new stage service at Reighton Gap.
Mr. J. Evans, for the applicants, said that since June they had operated, on dispensation, a stage service between Reighton Gap Holiday Camp and Watsons Lane as a feeder to the
objectors' main road services. Two , coaches were kept at the camp during the summer.
• They had received notice from the objectors of suggested irregular operations to Filey and Scarborough in July. Although these were genuine private parties run by the manager of the camp, Mr. Elwell had stopped them rather than jeopardize his licence.
Mr. Hargrave said he could produce evidence of other trips to Bridlington and Scarborough in late July and August. The journeys were openly advertised and fares were collected by the drivers.
Maj. F. S. Eastwood, chairman, said there was a need for a feeder service. A licence would be granted for a year, but if there was any more illegality it would be rescinded immediately.
