Tribunal allows more truck movements

WEEKEND HOURS restrictions imposed on two licences by Tim Hayden, the Western Deputy Traffic Commissioner, have been relaxed by the Transport Tribunal on appeal, to allow a limited number of extra movements.
After a series of objections voiced by neighbours, the DTC imposed conditions on the licences held by Alan Holder, trading as H&H Transport, and Harold Williams, trading as H H Williams & Son, which banned vehicle movements and maintenance between 1400 hours on Saturdays and 0600 hours on Mondays from their shared site at Moreton Valance.
In Holder's case, the Tribunal said his container business was well understood to require early starts, but Holder only required an early start on a Monday morning or late Sunday to reach Cornwall, where he had a china clay customer.
His vehicles were away all week, only returning on a Friday. As a result Holder was told he should have up to three truck movements out of the site from 1800 to 2000 hours on Sunday nights, a time at which the Tribunal believed three movements would not seriously affect the quiet enjoyment of the residents' premises.
With regards to maintenance, it was clear that was undesirable at most times at the weekend.
However, the Tribunal allowed Holder one movement out of the site on a Sunday for purposes of maintenance elsewhere, because he said that was an alternative to maintaining vehicles at the site on Sundays. His other vehicles must be maintained on Saturday mornings.
In Williams' case, the Tribunal said he operated a countrywide livestock haulage business.
His evidence was that he only needed one vehicle, which had to go out at 0500 to reach animals to be taken to an abattoir. It directed that Williams' licence is reduced to one vehicle and that he be permitted one movement out of the site at 0500 on any day.
