STAT1NG that a Manchester haulage company's evidence was unsatisfactory, the North Western Licensing Authority, Mr. F. Williamson, agreed to the withdrawal of their application for a B-licence collection and delivery vehicle to _feed their long-distance fleet, at Manchester, on Monday.
Mr. T. Booth, for T. Swindells and Son (Hauliers), Ltd., said they wanted to speed up their tong-distance deliveries. Customers had complained about delays, caused through the lorries being engaged on collection and delivery work.
The managing director, Mr. J. Wolfenden, said they had had difficulty in hiring satisfactory hauliers. In the past, breakages had often occurred when subcontractors were employed.
Answering Mr. P. Kershaw, for British Road Services, he said he had not tried to solve his difficulties by using B.R.S. They had not been satisfactory in the past.
After Mr. Wolfenden had been confronted with further questions, Mr. Booth said they would withdraw their case. Mr. Williamson said he thought this was wise, as the evidence was unsatisfactory and incomplete.
