AN application to add two vehicles, which formerly operated under contract-A licence, to a B licence, was granted by Mr. J. A. T. Hanlon, Northern Licensing Authority, at Newcastle upon Tyne, last week.
For the applicant, Mr. Robert Pescod, Witton Gilbert, County Durham, the Authority.was told by Mr. J. Kirkup that prior to the hearing the matter had been discussed with British Railways, the objectors. It had been agreed to modify the conditions by deleting "goods forrn Witton Gilbert Unit of the National Coal Board, as required."
Mr. Pescod, who said that he also carried on business as a coal merchant and operated a further vehicle on B licence, explained that Witton Gilbert Colliery had now closed down. He had asked the National Coal Board for other work, and awaited a reply.
After hearing evidence of support from the Consett Iron Company and a Durham concern of plumbers, sanitary and heating engineers, Mr. Hanlon said that he was satisfied that a case,had. been made out. ".The cessation of a contract-A licence is not a back-door entry into the haulage industry," he added. .
