A HOLYHEAD haulier received a stern 1-1. warning from Mr. F. Williamson, North Western Licensing Authority, at Caernarvon, last week, when for the second time he appeared without the necessary figures to back his application to amend his normal user.
In July, 1957, the applicant, Mr. W. J. Davies, Beach Yard, Holyhead, had obtained a licence with a restricted normal user covering Anglesey. Last. week he sought one vehicle of 31 tons to carry mainly silica products, steel and agricultural requisites and fertilizers to and from Mona, Anglesey, to Cheshire, Lancashire, Cumberland and Durham.
Mr. Williamson pointed out that it was a serious matter if Mr. Davies was operating under the new normal user. He was having full benefit of something which was not fully authorized. He adjourned the case and said that in the meantime the applicant mist operate within his old licence conditions. For the British Transport Commission, who objected, Mr. G. H. P. Bcames stated that when the case was eventually heard he would show that the B.T.C. had lost a substantial amount of traffic as a result of the wrongful employment of normal user.
The application is to be relisted, probably at Liverpool.
