I READ with very special interest John Durant's article, ''GLC says: We'll help the hauliers," (CM, June 8), but despite all efforts made by me, including an approach to Mr M. Foulkes, for assistance in finding a site at a viable rent or purchase price to enable me to continue my business, I have so far had no success.
As you are doubtless aware, quite a number of hauliers have been forced to close their businesses because they cannot find suitable operating areas, and I may be forced into a similar position.
A great deal has been said by the GLC and local authorities about helping hauliers in their difficulties, but my approaches to the GLC and various local authorities have fallen on deaf ears.
At present I am faced with having to find an alternative site for parking some 20 trailers as the present area is being taken over. In part of my operational area 1 face a 200 per cent rent increase on a lease renewal and a similar situation in a year's time when the rest of the operational area lease is due for renewal.
