ALTHOUGH the Road Haulage Association was disappointed that there would be no early relief from the 25-mile limit, the Transport Bill did afford the free haulier a chance to stay in the industry, said Mr. S. Winterbottom, national chairman of the R.H.A., at the annual dinner of the West Midland Area, last week.
If trade had not been so good since nationalization, he said, no permits would have been issued and many hauliers would have lost their livelihood. He had never heard a complaint from trade and industry that satisfactory service was not obtainable from freeenterprise hauliers before nationalization.
There could be no half-way measures between a belief in free enterprise and the principle of State control. Most members at the meetings he had attended believed that the R.H.A. was acting in a statesmanlike manner to make the best of the Bill. The Minister of Transport and the Licensing Authorities all! approved the Association's aims, he said.
DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN CAR AND BUS USERS " IT seems that the man with the car I is going to be able to stop just where he likes in King Street. Is it right that the public, who take up liss room per,person on a bus, should have to sail through Wigton without stopping?" The Northern Licensing Authority made this statement last week when Cumberland Motor Services, Ltd., applied for variations in its Wigton services to restore stopping places in King Street. These stops had been used until five years ago, when the company obtained the lease of Market Hill vehicle park and used this site as a bus station. The rural council has refused to renew the lease. Opposition to restoring the King Street stops was lodged by the local council, the Cumberland County Council and the county 'police. They suggested alternative stops, but the applicant complained that these would entail picking-up and setting-down on the eutskirts of the town.
The respondents contended that congestion in King Street would be aggravated, but the Authority sanctioned two stops in the street. He jntimated that the rural council should, reconsider the termination of the lease.
PARKING METERS IN LONDON?
UNDERGROUND garages in selected squares in the centre of London, financed out of parking meters installed in streets nearby, are suggested in a new report received by the Minister of Transport from the London and Home Counties Traffic Advisory Committee.
This was revealed in the House of Commons on Monday by the Minister, who said the report would be published soon. The Minister added that public opinion would have to be educated.
