I-1 A STERN warning was given to a
demolition concern at Bridlington, last week, ,when they were granted a short-term B licence to cover two tippers. Maj. F. S. Eastwood, Yorkshire Licensing Authority, told the licensees—Emma Walker and George Walker, Jnr.—that if the licence conditions were broken it would lead to revocation.
The applicants were the wife and son of Mr. George Walker, Anlaby Park Road, Hull, trading as " Walker's." Maj. Eastwood recalled that the last application was made by Mr. Walker, Snr., but it was found that he was an undischarged bankrupt operating as a haulier under C licence.
In evidence, Mr. Walker, Snr., said the two vehicles were already ow shortterm licence and were used mainly in connection with the demolition business. By working for other concerns, their earnings were about £20 a week, and he thought the demand would increase.
Objecting,Mr: E. Sayers, of Sayers Haulage (Hull), Ltd., said there were plenty of tippers in the area, and his company could provide one at two hours' notice. Similar evidence was given by Sam Allen (Hull), Ltd.
For the private objectors, Mr. E. Paterson pointed out that many applications made by Mr. Walker, Snr., had been refused.
The grant was made for building materials from sites on which Walker's worked as demolition contractors. A 20-mile radius was fixed.
