• Richard Hilliard, who traded as Accrington Coachways, of Clayton-leMoors, has been ordered to pay fines and costs totalling £658, by Blackburn Magistrates, for offences of using defective public service vehicles.
The charges arose after Accrington Coachways vehicles were stopped during Lancashire Police's Operation Safe Passenger.
Sentencing was adjourned in February, after Hilliard was convicted of using two defective vehicles. (CM 2-9 March.) When he again appeared he admitted using two other defective vehicles. Hilliard told the magistrates that he had surrendered all his licences and had ceased to trade. The likelihood was that he would be made bankrupt.
The magistrates told Hilliard that he could pay off the fine at £.5 a week.
