HAULIERS who were among the first Vto be refused original permits, or were granted permits in such restricted terms that they were virtually useless, have little time left in which to ask the Road Haulage Executive to take over their businesses, either wholly or partly.
Application for acquisition has to be made on form A.R.11 or A.R.12, according to whether partial or complete nationalization is required, within three months of the Executive's decision being notified. Only those who were eligible for permits, or would have been eligible if some change had not taken place in the ownership of a business, in circumstances causing hardship, are entitled to apply.
The R.H.E. will not withdraw a written decision on an application for an original permit, but a haulier who has sent in form A.R.11 or A.R.12 and later secures a previously refused permit or has the terms of an unsatisfactory grant modified to suit his needs, may cancel his request for nationalization.
BUS APPLICATIONS WELCOMED " WE are anxious to get the countra VV services going in that area. When an operator like you comes along, we are only too willing to help you," Mr. A. Robertson, Scottish Deputy Licensing Authority, told Mr. John Meldrum, of Templeford, Forgue, last week. Mr. Meldrum applied for permission to run a service from Thornybank, via Logic Newton, Fisher ford and Rothmays to Rayne and porno, and then non-stop to Inverurie on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Easton Motor Service, of Pitcaple, applied for authority to run a daily service from Huntly, via the Glens of Foudland to Colpy, Old Rayne, Pitcaple and Inverurie. It was stated that the scattered farming communities in the glens north of Inverurie had no way of getting to the market towns. Both applications were granted, subject to the co-ordination of timetables and fares between the two operators.
