• Mr V. St. George Brown, managing director of Continuous Haulage Contractors Ltd, of Bury, told Mr C. R. Hodgson, North Western LA. in Manchester on Tuesday, that he would not accept the amended grant which was made. The application was for a new B licence for 25 vehicles to carry excavated and demolition material from sites where the vehicle had already delivered road-making and quarry products sold by the applicant, within 15 miles. There were four objectors to the application, which had been adjourned a number of times (CM November 21, 1969 and January 16, 1970).
Mr Brown said that he had been operating on C licence but now he needed a B licence as he had been asked to clear "muck" from sites to which he had taken stone. He had not been using his own vehicles since early January 1970 because of bad weather. Prior to this he had carried road-making and building materials on a short-term licence. Mr Brown said that he had been asked to move 450,000 cu.yd. of spoil for Sir Alfred McAlpine, and Sons Ltd. He did not have a letter of support from McAlpine, and had weather, on the morning of the hearing, had prevented him from reaching his office to collect particulars of his business.
The LA said that he would grant a new short-term licence for nine vehicles; this would give the applicant time to produce some evidence.
Mr Brown said that he did not think he wanted to accept the grant. Mr Hodgson replied that he had given his decision and that the applicant could appeal if he wished.
It was later explained to Mr Brown, by one of the advocates present, that this grant would not affect the carriage of goods in connection with his own business. It was also pointed out that under operators' licensing most of his vehicles would be freed from carriers' licence restrictions, as they were under 16 ton-gross vehicle weight. Mr Brown had apparently thought that he was being restricted in the carriage of his own goods.
