Dyse rt h -based Thomcliffe Building Supplies and its driver Anthony Nixon were fined a total of £1,666 with £236.62 costs after admitting a gross overload offence before Denbigh magistrates.
Meilir Edwards, senior trading standards officer for Denbighshire County Council, told the magistrates that a weight spot check was carried out on the A525 at St Asaph last October, as part of a crackdown by trading standards officers. When the vehicle driven by Nixon was weighed, it was found that its permitted gross weight had been exceeded. The driver was told the results of the weight check and a prohibition notice issued. The driver reduced his load, the vehicle was re-weighed and a removal of prohibition order was issued.
Thorncliffe Building Supplies was fined £1,133 and Nixon £533.
