• Mr. John Hanlon, the Northern LA. decided not to grant a full-term B licence to R.A.H. Transporters Ltd., of Darlington, at an inquiry in Darlington, Co. Durham, last week.
The reason, he said, was because it would create too much paperwork when Operators' Licensing is introduced next year. Instead he granted the firm a short-term B licence to save it the trouble of applying for a cash refund when changes are made in the licensing regulations. The firm had applied for a renewal of a B licence for two artics and a tipper.
Mr. Hanlon said: "The best thing to do in the circumstances is to issue a short-term licence. If you get a full-term licence you will only have to come back for a refund-.
