8TM Storage & Distribution (International) has been granted a fresh licence despite operating without authority after a pre0ous licence had expired for the non-payment of its annual fee.
The company, trading as Weaver Pallet Express Scotland. of the Buchanan Business Centre, Stepps, near Glasgow, had sought a licence for 12 vehicles and 12 trailers at a Glasgow Public Inquiry after operating from the site under interim authority since July.
Neighbouring residents complained about noise from vehicle movements, load ing and unloading and maintenance. Managing director Bruce Jenkin said: "I'm not here for a fight and quite honestly I wish] had never seen Stepps in Glasgow. If I have to move I will, and quite honestly it would be a weight off my shoulders."
Vehicles were sometimes loaded and unloaded in the yard, said Jenkin, who added that they really needed to operate 24 hours a day.
He agreed that the loading and unloading could be done to the north away from the residents. Jenkin stressed that BTM vehicles were not repaired on site he agreed that repairs to curtain-sided trailers would also be carried out to the north.
William Bannister, a director of Buchanan Business Parks, said that redevelopment of the site would solve the problems as heavy vehicles would no longer go anywhere near the residents. They were spending £600,000 on a new road junction designed for vehicles to move in and out quickly.
Traffic examiner Evelyn Hill said the previous licence had termim at the end of May 2001. The company 1 operated without authority until the IntE licence was granted and moved to Buchanan Business Park.
Scottish Traffic Commissioner Mic Betts said when the Traffic Area Office tried to contact the company, mail returned marked "gone away". No lice renewal fee was received and it assumed that the company had sir ceased to exist.
Jenkin said it was the responsibilit the then general manager to inform Traffic Area Office of the change of co spondence address. A whole new transi management team had been put in place Granting the application with a wart Betts said he could reasonably have fc that the company had lost its repute that rt would not regain it for a month.
