INCREASING demands for storage and warehousing facilities resulted ' in a Stokc-on-Trent haulage company being granted two extra 13 vehicles at Hanley on Tuesday. Longton Storage and Warehousing, . Ltd., applied for two vans to carry general goods into and out of their warehouses, within a 75-mile radius. In addition to being hauliers, the applicants owned several warehouses where they assembled orders,-broke down bulk loads and stored branded commodities.
Evidence was given by four customers who all spoke of extra business which they wished to give Langton if they were granted more facilities. The application was .unopposed.
When making the grant, the West Midland Licensing Authority, Mr. W. P. James, said that no evidence had been given of inward general traffic to Longtcn warehouses, so he. altered the conditions. permitting the two vehicles to deliver general goods from the warehouses within 75 miles, but only carrying empty containers and rejects on return inward j o urneys.
