A SCAFFOLDING FIRM has totted up tines and costs of £1,050 for a string of licensing and insurance offences. When Barclay Scaffolding& Cradle ofWestcliffe-on-Sea appeared before Barking magistrates it was fined £75 for permitting a driver to drive without a licence, £300 for using a vehicle without insurance, £350 for having no 0-licence, and £150 for using an 0-licence identity disc with intent to deceive, pith £175 costs.

Anthony Ostrin, prosecuting for VOSA, said tha when a two-axled vehicle carrying scaffolding wa, stopped in a roadside check the driver was unable n produce his current tachograph chart.

Enquiries revealed that the driver was not qualifiec to drive that class of vehicle, so the insurance for tip vehicle was invalid. It was displaying a restricted 0 licence disc issued to an individual:That gave the im pression that the limited company held a licence whei in fact it did not; and that represented a deception.

For the company,Terence Massett said the previou partnership had changed to a limited company an had failed to update its records,They had rectified th position as soon as possible.
