A CONTRACT A licence for two 1-_ vehicles belonging to Double Ess Transport, Ltd., Pudscy, was revoked as from November 13 by the Deputy Yorkshire Licensing Authority, Mr. J. H. E. Randolph, at Leeds last week. Following several irregularities the company had been brought to court, being in breach of sub. section I, section 178, of the Road Traffic Act.
One unit had been used to perform unauthorized transportation for Thomas Srneeth, and the other had been unloaded on several occasions when carrying aluminium scrap. The company had faced 36 charges in the past and had been fined for not maintaining their vehicles properly and overloading them, and for other offences.
On May 3 an application had been heard, when Double Ess Transport had asked to substitute the licences of eight contract A vehicles by public A licences. Mr. Randolph said that taking into account their previous conduct it was impossible for him to grant this.
