CIGURES showing that each of the 1 two vehicles of Reliance Motor Transport (Leeds) Western, Ltd., earned at the rate of £5,000 a year were produced to the Western Licensing Authority last week. The company sought an A licence for iwo vehicles to be used mainly to carry general goods between Bristol and Lecds.
Applicants had run two ex-B.R.S. vehicles since June, 1955, and were supplying their prenationalization customers with a regular Leeds-Bristol service. The trunk vehicles were used for the collection and delivery of loads in the cities at each end of the route, the Authority was told.
Colthurst and Harding, Ltd., Bristol, paint makers, and Colodense, Ltd.. Cellophane-wrapping makers, supported the application, which was opposed by Western Transport, Ltd.. the railways and British Road Services, The Authority had "no hesitation' in granting the application.
THE WRONG COUNCIL CHAMBER TWO different rooms, each known as the Council Chamber, one in the Town Hall, Penrith, and the other in the Mansion House, led to confusion over the place of a hearing before the Northern Licensing Authority last week.
The Authority had listed the hearing for the Mansion House in Applications and Decisions, but in a letter to the applicant, Mr. W. R. Sharp, of Penrith, said that it would be in the "Council Chamber, Penrith." Mr. Sharp's solicitor, Mr. T. H. Campbell Wardlaw, arrived on the day of the case at the Town Hall. He was joined by Mr. F. J. MtHugh, for British Road Services and the railways, and two railway representatives.
Meanwhile, the Authority waited at the Mansion House. After 20 minutes he dismissed the application and complained of extreme discourtesy over the non-appearance of the applicant. The next day he withdrew this remark and admitted the existence of an error. The case was listed for re-hearing on a future date.
