.1-1 A BLACKPOOL haulier who, after admitting to variouS discrepancies regarding his normal user was still allowed to continue using his A licence, was told he was a "fortunate man" by Mr. L. Shelton, who took the place of the North Western Licensing Authority at Lytham last week.
Mr. H. Clark, 180 Park Road, Bhickpool, said he had acquired his vehicle in 1959 and had then been unaware that any conditions were attached to it. He had changed what had originally been a tipper into a van so that he could do a few furniture removals and carry silencers.
He agreed that during 1960 he had changed the nature of his business altogether but he had not known there were any such things as normal users and thought that with an A licence one was entitled to do anything.
Mr. Shelton said Mr. Clark had obviously acted out of ignorance, but he had been very careless and irresponsible. But he granted the application for renewal.
