I WISH I had the power to award costs against people who make formal application for licences and then do not turn up at the inquiry, details of which have already been published in Applications and Decisions." Mr. S. W. Nelson said this at Bristol on Monday when an application by Elkstone Quarries, Ltd., Swindon (registered offices: Cranbrook Road, Ilford, Essex) was down for hearing.
There were 18 objectors, including British Railways, some of whom had travelled 40 miles to be present at the hearing of the application.
Mr. Nelson said the company had previously made application for a shortterm B licence in respect of 20 vehicles (hiring allowances), but this had not been granted.
