ATRAFFIC Commissioner has refused a licence lor what he called a "phoenix application" designed to get around his decision at an earlier enquiry.
The bid for a licence by a director and employee of two-vehicle operation Wm Hayes Freight followed the curtailment of that company's licence by West MidlandTC David Dixon.
Stephen Winston and Adam Hayes, trading as Hayes Freight. of Great Wyrley, Walsall, had applied for a new national licence for two vehicles and four trailers based at Darlaston.
The TCsaid that in March he had cut the licence held by Wm Hayes Freight from 21 vehicles and 32 trailers to 19 vehicles and 29 trailers. Hayes was a director of that company and Winston was a traffic planner.
Winston said they had been asked to provide two vehicles by Bill Bayliss,whose company Acerinox UK did not hold an 0-licence. Wm Hayes did not have enough capacity to do the work and he had seen an opportunity. Bayliss would be responsible for traffic planning while Hayes Freight supplied the transport.
Hayes, who was financing the project, said Bayliss' company was a customer of Wm Hayes, but for a different kind of work. The drivers would be two self-employed drivers who currently worked for Wm Hayes and he would check over the vehicles at the weekend.
He had personally bought the one vehicle they currently had, though it was registered in the name of Hayes Freight.The finances were completely separate and they had a separate operating centre.
Hayes agreed that if Wm Hayes Freight's licence had not been curtailed it was work that the company would have done.
Winston said the reason Adam Hayes was with him was finance and his mechanical knowledge.
