DTC downgrades Rochdale firm's Licence
A LANCASHIRE firm, whose proposed transport manager had disappeared, has been forced to downgrade its licence from a standard national licence to a restricted licence. Rochdale-based Mayer Brothers (Excavations), which held a five-vehicle licence, had been called before the North-Western Deputy Traffic Commissioner, Patrick Mulvenna.
The DTC said that the company had first appeared before him in May 2007 after an unsatisfactory maintenance investigation.
Mulvenna adjourned the hearing for three months for further financial information, for a further maintenance investigation and for the proposed transport manager, former vehicle examiner Ivan Coup, to obtain his CPC.
When the case was relisted in January. a satisfactory maintenance investigation had been carried out and the financial evidence was also satisfactory. This just left the issue of the transport manager.
The company failed to appear and the DTC initially revoked its licence. He rescinded that decision after the firm wrote to say it had not received the call-up letter.
The DTC now possessed a report from transport consultant Grahame Robinson, which showed that, by and large, the vehicle maintenance was satisfactory and that there was an application to downgrade the licence.
For the company, Michael Cunningham said that Coup had just not come up with the goods.
The company had paid for him to undertake the CPC course and he had since disappeared from the scene. Director Wayne Mayer had taken the CPC examination but had failed module 4. It was the intention he obtain a CPC and that the company would then seek a standard national licence.
