• Bradford-based waste paper merchants B Holmes and Company had its licence duration cut because of maintenance problems, and environmental conditions were attached to its licence following an appearance before North Eastern Deputy Licensing Authority Norman Moody.
The company appeared before the DLA on disciplinary grounds after receiving a large number of prohibitions on its vehicles, and for the consideration of its application to add two vehicles and trailers to its existing licence for nine vehicles and trailers. The application attracted representations from three firms, two of which were represented before the DLA.
Nick Holroyd, for the company, said the maintenance problems had been solved by the employment of a new mechanic. In addition, arrangements had been made for the VIA to inspect the company's vehicles every three months.
Henry Lewis and Walker & Holmes complained about Linton Street, where their premises are situated, being completely blocked by the company's vehicles parked and being loaded in the street.
Prematurely terminating the licence so that it expires at the end of October 1989 instead of in 1991, Moody granted the additional vehicles, but imposed conditions that no authorised vehicles or containers may be parked in Linton Street or the access road, and requiring all loading to be carried out in the operating centre.
