• Taking no action against the licence of bitumen manufacturers Kelbit and granting an additional five vehicles and 18 trailers, North Western Licensing Authority Roy Hutchings said that the case highlighted the fact that ownaccount operators often paid insufficient attention to the transport side when their business was expanding.
There was evidence of unsatisfactory maintenance after one of the firm's vehicles was given an immediate prohibition for defective brakes during its annual test.
The Wigan-based company replied that the transport side had formerly been left to an outside haulage contractor but there was a conflict of interests and the relationship ended in December 1985.
Malcolm Lawson, the company's transport manager since January, said he had increased the garage staff, changed the record system and made arrangements for the FTA to carry out quarterly vehicle inspections.
