THE 0-LICENCE held by Durham-based Anglo Dutch Logistics has been revoked by the North-Eastern Traffic Commissioner Tom Macartney following evidence that an associated coach company was carrying passengers without an 0-licence.
Branding sole director Anne Stidwell a liar, the TC disqualified her and former director David Pritchard from holding an 0-licence indefinitely.
The company held a licence for four vehicles and six trailers.
An application for a fivevehicle PSV 0-licence by Anglo International Coaches, of which Stidwell's common-law husband Ralph Brown was a director, has been withdrawn.
The TC had information from Vosa and the police that coaches had been frequently used to carry passengers within the UK by a Dutch company, Browns Coaches BV, of which Stidwell was a director. This was despite revocation of the Dutch company's licence Clinks to Dutch firm could affect Licence', CM 11 September).
The TC said ADL had obtained an 0-licence by deception, had never employed a transport manager, and had links with entities that had been operating vehicles illegally on domestic and international journeys.
Stidwell had obtained a licence by deceit. She had been deeply involved as a director, and as a director of Browns Coaches BV, in operating transport for domestic and international journeys while there was no licence in place in the UK or the Netherlands. She had left the public inquiry in the course of giving evidence when the questioning proved to be more searching than anticipated.
Pritchard had obtained an 0 licence by deceit. He had been deeply involved in the operation of vehicles carrying passengers domestically and internationally by Browns Coaches B V and possibly Browns Coaches UK. He had been a director of Anglo Dutch during the key period of application for the licence. He falsified the licence application and the licence would not have been granted had it been completed truthfully.
