No change
THERE will be no changes to the speed limits on British roads, says Transport Minister William Rodgers.
A new temporary speed limit order has been made to continue the limits of 70 mph (dual carriageways), and 60mph (single carriageway), where no lower limits are stated.
Seatbelt vote
ANOTHER attempt is being made to make seat belt use compulsory on light vans and cars.
Transport Minister William Rodgers told Anglesey Labour MP Cledwyn Hughes that a free vote was planned for a Bill which will be introduced early in the present Parliamentary Session.
Ferryrnasters' new depot
P8r0 transport subsidiary Ferrymasters' new £0.75m trailer depot at Risley, near Warrington is due to open soon.
It is located on a five-acre site close to the M6 /M62 motorway junction and will be able to accommodate 120 trailers. There is also a 20,000scat maintenance depot, and 10,000sqft for covered warehousing, vehicle washing and fuelling.
Ferrymasters intends to base 40 tractive units at the new depot.
IMI election
THIRTY candidates are standing for the 21 seats on the council of the Institute of the Motor Industry.
The results of the election, for up to seven non-industrial and no less than 14 motor industry representatives, will be announced at IMI's annual general meeting on November 28.
The Electoral Reform Society is conducting the ballot for the Institute.
