• A director who admitted being involved in two failed companies, paying penalties for running vehicles on red diesel and operating untaxed vehicles asked for a public inquiry into his licence application to be adjourned.
Eastern European Transport of Noake House, Wennington, Essex had applied for a new standard international licence for 12 vehicles and 20 trailers with Alan Raymond Brooks as trans
port manager, Brooks told LA Ronald Ashford that he was the company's sole director and, though using the same offices, was not involved in his brothers' operations.
Brothers Albert and Robert Brooks had their licences revoked earlier this month following a history of using untaxed vehicles and red diesel.
Brooks agreed that he had been owner and director of Brooks Transport and Brooks Transport (Purfleet) which had hired vehicles to his brothers. He accepted that the companies were being wound up but denied that Brooks Transport (Purfieet) owned .18,000 to Scantrucks.
The LA said that Brooks Transport had two convictions for using untaxed vehicles. He mentioned convictions against Brooks Transport (Purfieet) including having no insurance, but Brooks denied that a vehicle had been used without insurance.
