AN application for a Contract A to A i licence switch by Fast Freight (Road Haulage) Ltd., of King's Lynn was heard by the Eastern Licensing Authority at Peterborough on Wednesday and adjourned for a day.
It was proposed to carry goods for Campbell's Soups Ltd. from King's Lynn to the London area and the Home Counties and Southern Counties; general traffic from King's Lynn for Garland and Flexman; chemicals for Dow Agro Chemicals Ltd. from King's Lynn mainly to London and the Home Counties, and general goods to Tilbury, Felixstowe and Dover for onward transmission to the Continent.
Objectors were British Railways, British Road Services, Summerfield and Thomas, M. G. Leades Ltd. and S. W. Mitchley.
Mr. R. Lewington, managing director of Fast Freight, told—the Authority that it would really be a straight swop. "We have made the application so that we can operate our vehicles more efficiently and give a better service to our customers," he
said. Under Contract A licence the vehicles were overworked at times and standing idle on other occasions.
Mr. Lewington said the company would not be able to continue operating at the present rate if the licence was not granted.
Questioned by Mr. C. R. Kali; representing British Road Services, Mr. Lewington firmly denied a suggestion that he was not a road haulier, but used his premises as a clearing house.
Application Halved AFTER a conference between counsel shortly before the hearing, the objectors withdrew their opposition to an application by A. Manchester and Sons Ltd., bulk liquid carriers, of S.E. London, to the Metropolitan Licensing Authority in London on Wednesday.
The firm had applied for six tanker vehicles on A licence to carry tar, tar products, creosote and fuel oil within 150 miles, and also asked for the substitution of a 4-ton 7-cwt. tanker for a 2-ton 7-cwt. truck on a B licence on the same conditions.
Both applications were opposed by the British Railways Board, and B.R.S. (Pickfords) Ltd_ objected to the A licence application only.
When the case was called, Mr. M. Jackson-Lipkin, for the applicant, said that agreement had been reached between the parties, and the objections withdrawn. As a result his A licence application would be reduced to three vehicles.
The objectors also did not oppose Manchester's application that the other three tanker vehicles required should be put on a short-term A licence to expire on April 30 next year. This would save the time of all concerned in making a fresh application, said Mr. JacksonLipkin.
The application was granted.
