Hauliers Need Better Beet Conditions

AFTER one of the most difficult sugar beet seasons on record, hauliers are likely to pay close attention to loading facilities offered next season by farmers with beet to be carried to factories.
This is the view of Mr. J. Latham,transport manager of Pointer Transport Services Ltd., a company which has carried thousands of tons of beet to the Cantley, Wissington and King's Lynn factories. / "Our experience during the season just finished and the one before has reinforced our view that farmers who provide reasonable facilities for quick and easy loading should receive advantageous haulage rates", he said. "Those who leave their beet where you can hardly expect a tractor, let alone a lorry, to reach it, must obviously have some additional figure added to the haulage rate to cover the very high labour costs involved in loading."
Boost for ports information
THE Ministry of Transport will do all it can
to encourage other ports to set up information services like the valuable ones available to transport services and exporters at Liverpool and London.
Mr. Stephen Swingler, Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry, who said this in the Commons last week, pointed out that the establishment of services of this kind was a matter for port authorities and users.
Attention to the service in Liverpool had been drawn by Mr. Simon Mahon (Labour, Bootle).
