A CALL for tighter enforcement of the 0 licensing system, including extending powers of enforcement to traffic wardens, has been made by the Greater London Council.
In its submission to the Foster committee of inquiry into 0 licences, the GLC says there is adequate legislation covering overloading, maintenance and drivers' hours, but "it is not carried through into convincing levels of enforcement".
And it claims lack of strict enforcement reduces the safety factor in road transport.
But training, communication and familiarisation are just as important to maintain a high standard of safety as strict enforcement of the rules.
Indeed it believes these factors may be more important than strict enforcement. . Licensing Authorities the GLC should put n effort into preventive before an 0 licence is iSSLIE re-issued, "especially by ting more carefully capability of organisation administration system: undertakings" to cope , the legislation.
The introduction of tl licensing system in the Tr port Act 1968 "must 1improved" the standar, efficiency, says the GLC.
One result of the system been to produce be managed vehicles whic turn has meant "both fitability and efficiency 1 been enhanced".
On the question of NA effect 0 licensing has ha, should have on the envi ment, the council points the Metropolitan Licen: Authority has said envii tal grounds are not suflt to oppose licence appli ■ ns.
id because of this, a pilot me set up by certain Lonborough councils to see :her objections should be e on environmental nds was abandoned.
it the GLC clearly believes operating centre's ennment should be taken account by the LA when idering an application. adds the LA should be ared to refuse an applicaon these grounds.
