• Standardised licences and discs which are not specific to a traffic area are to be introduced in January next year, says the first annual report published this week by the Traffic Area Network, the Department of Transport umbrella organisation which oversees Traffic Area Offices, Licensing Authorities and Traffic Commissioners.
The licences and discs will also have an anti-fade factor built into the design. A review of exemptions from operator licensing requested by the Government will also begin next year.
Traffic Area Network is to be studied to see if it can become an Executive Agency, like the Vehicle Inspectorate.
Traffic Area Offices are to be monitored to see if they meet their unit cost targets a-A budgets.
Work on the Inquiry Procedure Rules amendment is expected to be finished early next year and changes will be introduced next Autumn.
