r.--7,rms No action was
• taken against the licence held by Neath-based
owner-driver Owen Egan after he provided evidence of his financial standing and confirmed that he had signed a maintenance contract for his two vehicles.
South Wales Deputy Traffic Commissioner Alan Bourlet had given Egan until the end of the month to improve his maintenance after concern about his maintenance standards had been expressed by a vehicle examiner.
When the hearing continued Egan told the Deputy TC that he now had a daily nil reporting system and made a walk-round check each morning. He had put his maintenance in the hands of an old friend, Brian Roberts, who ran a commercial garage, and he would be applying to move his operating centre to Roberts' site.
For Egan, Edward Lyons said that the evidence from his bank showed this was a fairly stable business. Egan had rid himself of the vehicle which had been giving him all the problems and now took his maintenance responsibilities very seriously Egan had been in business a long time and he realised that if he slipped up again that business would be at risk. Taking no action against Egan's licence, the Deputy TC remarked that he was pleased the problems discussed during the previous hearing had been addressed.
His major concern had been the lack of a proper maintenance system but he had now been given assurances about the future.
