DECISION was reserved by Mr. C. E. Scanlon, inspector of the Ministry of Housing and Local Government, at an inquiry at Stockport, last week, when Harts Carriers, Ltd., Sykes Street, Reddish, appealed against Stockport Corporation's refusal to allow them to erect a building to provide warehousingand extra garage space.
Mr. E. B. B. Richards, for the corn-. pany, said that the proposed building would allow more than one of the , company's eight lorries to unload at once. The corporation's suggestion of moving to another site would double the cost of building. Most of the company's employees lived in the locality, and much of the work was Tor the Reddish Chemical Co.
Mr. D. W. Hay, deputy town clerk, said that it had been decided to build houses on the site concerned. The business of Harts Carriers was not local, but served many areas of the north-west. The company should be centred in Stockport, and not at Reddish.
