AN application by W. Keith and Sons, Grange-over-Sands, Lanes, to substitute an A-licence 7-tonner for a 5-tonner on special A licence was refused last week at Kendal. The application, which was adjourned last month for more evidence, was opposed by the British Transport Commission and three private hauliers.
In evidence, Mr. Errington Keith, a partner, said they operated seven vehicles, of which four were on A licence. The vehicle now sought would have a greater capacity than the special A lorry being replaced because they wanted to standardize the fleet, but the same type of general haulage would be done. • Supporting evidence was given by representatives of Broughton Moor Greenstone Quarries and the Furness and South Cumberland Supply Association.
