• Bus operator I fill's (Tredegar) has had its licence authorisation reduced to 59 vehicles after receiving 25 prohibition notices this year. South Wales traffic commissioner John Mervyn Pugh said it was a "tragedy" to have to deal with a company whose name was "synonymous" with South Wales.
Pugh heard that Hills, which had a licence for 75 vehicles, had been given 39 prohibition notices since the death of its principal director Harry Hill. For Hill's, Roger Cradick said the general manager had been replaced; there were now monthly inspections, more fitters had been taken on and a defect reporting system had been resumed.
Cradick said the company wanted to increase its fleet in the spring. Pugh replied that he would allow this if all went well until then. He said he understood the impact of the death of harry I Ell.
