THE special needs of an agricultural area were stressed last week before the Scottish Licensing Authority in Glasgow when James Tyre, of Dundonald, applied for a B licence for one vehicle of 31 tons for farm products and requisites within 30 miles of the operating centre.
Mr. Tyre, Who previously had an F licence, told of requests by farms and merchants for transport of their goods. These needs had been met until about four years ago by a local haulier who had since given up business.
For B.R.S., Mr. D. Brown pointcd out that no real evidence had been submitted of need and he contended that the farmers were having their goods carried.
Mr. W. F. Quin, the Licensing Authority, said he was satisfied that the evidence supported a grant with a 15-mile radius with extension into Glasgow.
