AN agricultural merchant who wanted to enter haulage was unsuccessful 'in his ,application for a new B licence at Bristol, last week_ Mr. S. W. Nelson, Western Licensing Authority, ruled that nO need had been proved by the applicant, Mr. M. J. Greening, Grittleton, Mr. Greening wished to carry agricul7
• tural produce and requisites. within 50 • 'miles, but he was opposed by the British . Transport Commission and seven private operators. .
He told the Authority that at present he was running four vehicles -on C lieeece . to serve his 400 customers. The area was not well served by hauliers, and farmers often asked. him to carry goods such as hay and manure. Answering Mr. I. McGregor Johnson, for the private objectors, he admitted that the B-licence -vehicle would probably do at least 50 per cent, haulage work.
. Mr. T. D. Corpe. for Mr. Greening, submitted that in a large agricultural area most big villages required the 'services of a haulier.
Rejecting the application, Mr. Nelson said he always tried to help farmers but in this case the objectors were persisting in their opposition to a newiorner extending into their industry. However, if farmers still thought they had insufficient facilities, Mr. Greening could apply again.
NEW PLANT FOR PLASTICS ANEW factory at Reading. specially equipped to make plastics components for the motor industry, is to be bronght . into use on February 1 by Resinoid and Mica Products, Ltd. As the new plant comes. into full service, the company's Birmingham factory will be closed down. Key 'staff from the Midlands works are being transferred to Reading, where both thermoplastic and thermosetting intermediate products will be made.
