THE use of a 13-acre site at College I Road, Perry Barr as a freight clearance centre has been approved by Birmingham's public works committee. The project, which is in line with the Rochdale Report's recommendations, is being initialed by a mainly shipping consortium in which Coast lines Ltd. figures prominently.
The intention is to build transit sheds costing around Elm, to operate as distribution and Customs clearance points for containerized unit loads' brought. by road from the principal ports. The new centre would be well placed for this being almost at the planned junction of MS and
M6. .
A Coast Lines spokesman has said that the centre will comply 'with the latest Customs requirements for a broadly based consortium to act as developer and for half the space to be made available for public use.
Unless and until the Customs authorities accept T1R as sufficient cover for bonded goods travelling between port of entry and Customs clearance centre, the Birmingham depot will be of limited value to hauliers operating their own Continental services; hut it provides a profuse of much new transit and c. and d. traffic.
