AN applicant already operating three vehicles on B licence applied to Mr. C. J. Macdonald, deputizing for the Western Licensing Authority, at Cheltenham last week to add to his existing conditions: "sand, gravel and hardcore within a radius of 30 miles of operating centre with two vehicles."
The applicant, Mr. F. W. Smith, of Chesterton Lane, Cirencester, told the Authority he had no supporting evidence. He was there, he said, "to speak for himself."
Replying to Mr. Macdonald, he said he did not know who his customers would be nor what quarries he would carry traffic for, except that there were many quarries and sandpits in the district, and he thought he could do some work for them.
Mr. Macdonald: "I must have evidence as to need. I should like to help you, but you will have to think up some way of showing that the need is there."
The application was refused, and none of the ten objectors was called.
