• A waste clearance firm whose original application for a B licence was described by Mr. G. K. Newman, the North Western deputy Licensing Authority, as "hotly contested" was granted an extension of radius from five to 20 miles in an unopposed application in Preston last week, because all five of the objectors failed to appear.
G. S. and G. Lyon, of Ashton-in Makerfield, had been granted an application nine months earlier to carry waste for disposal in their own tip, for customers with whom they had been in contact through their scrap dealer business. Gordon Lyon, a partner, said they had now received permission to extend their tip from 25,000 to 100,000 cu.yd. And he was now being requested to go to Liverpool, Leyland and Bradlington.
Mr. G. A. Lancashire, buyer for the research and development department of' Pilkington Ltd., Leyland, explained that an experimental machine produced daily 12 tons of hot sand containing other materials which had to be disposed of immediately. The company had previously used its own Clicensed vehicles but past quantities bore no relation to present requirements, said Mr. Lancashire.
His company required about one load of waste per week removed from its Walkden premises, said Mr. H. Jessop of Jones and Singer (Kersley) Ltd. Before, this had been done by its own vehicles from Stoke-on Trent when in the North, but this was not convenient. There had also been difficulty in finding a suitable tip, he said.
