STATING that he could not be bound by previous decisions, the East Midland Licensing Authority recently granted the South Notts Bus Co., Ltd., permission to jun a number of cheap tours from Clifton housing estate, Nottingham, from March to October.
Nottingham City Council objected on the ground that the Trent Motor Traction. Co., Ltd., was refused a licence to run, tours from Apsley in 1937, since when it had been the principle that tows should start from a central point in the city.
Mr. L. W. A. White said that if Clifton residents had to travel into Nottingham to take a tour, they would add 10d. to the cost of a 2s. 6d. trip.
