• North Eastern Deputy Licensing Authority H Anthony Richardson proposes to place a condition on the licence held by Leeds-based Walsh Transport, banning the company's vehicles leaving its Yeadon operating centre before 06:00hrs.
Walsh's application to renew its seven-vehicle licence, based at King Street, Yeadon, attracted environmental representations from a Mr and Mrs Ernest Long who live between the entrance of the operating centre and the junction of King Street with a main road. They complained about noise, particularly from vehicles leaving early, maintaining that they were regularly disturbed. Company secretary Ronald Walsh admitted that some vehicles did leave before 06:00hrs, but maintained that it only happened once or twice a month.
For the company, Gary Hodgson said that the contract concerned would be lost if vehicles were unable to leave before 06:00hrs, which could affect the viability of the firm.
Warning that he was considering imposing the condition, Richardson adjourned the proceedings to give the company time to consider the impact on its business and make representations to him, before he makes a final decision.
