AN appeal by J. S. Stirk and Sons, of Staindrop, near Barnard Castle, against the refusal by the Northern Licensing Authority to vary the conditions of their B licence, was refused by the Transport Tribunal on Tuesday.
Stirk's asked for the variation to enable them to carry bulk sulphate of ammonia from Imperial Chemical Industries at Billingham, Wallasey, Cheshire, for Curry, Rowlands and Co., a firm of fertilizer manufacturers.
Mr. T. H. Campbell Wardlaw, for Stirk, said that if the application were granted it would not mean a wholesale transfer of traffic from A licence to B licence, nor the release of A vehicles to other work. What they wanted to do was merely take what was described as spillover" on their B-licensed vehicles.
Giving the Tribunal's decision, the president, Sir Hubert Hull, said they were by no means satisfied that the facilities at present at the disposal of the appellant were adequate for the amount of work which Curry, Rowlands and Co. required to be done.
