AFTER complaining to the Western Licensing Authority, last week, that he was working long hours and arriving late at market, Mr. E. Warner, of Upper Farm. Aston-on-Carrant, Gloucester, was granted permission to add a container vehicle to his fleet. The vehicle was licensed to carry livestock within 50 miles and to and from Reading. Mr. T. D.
