A' Glasgow on Monday the Cumbernauld firm of Inter-City Transport and Trading Co., Ltd., was granted permission for three additional vehicles of
tons on A licence. The company had asked for six vehicles.
Mr. W. Sharpe, secretary of the company, said the new firms in the area were dependent on Inter-City, and the company wished to keep face with them. The increased tonnage would have little effect on their sub-contracting.
"When you entered Cumbernauld in 1954, did you anticipate a development area?" asked Mr. W. F. Quin, the licensing Authority. "It had been talked about for some time," replied Mr. Sharpe.
14r. Quin granted three vehicles with modified normal user: "General goods— mainly whisky, spirits, wines and Camp coffee--75% of their time to be spent on transport to London."
