Zepresentations on en iental grounds from a ibouring firm were red by North Eastern rising Authority Frederick [ley when he renewed iational licence held by [wells Skip Hire of Shef
le representations came Alloy Steel Rods, which pies premises adjacent to [well's operating centre in !t. Street, Attercliffe. by Steel Rods' works iger, Anthony Lilley, said is concerned about the int of waste paper blowing its premises. It was also ted by obnoxious smells ig from the skips. iestioned by James Guard Sradwells, Lilley agreed the principal complaint re. to the summer months. greed that there was a 3.66m-high wall and wire mesh fence around the Bradwell's premises.
Guard said that a number of Bradwells staff now collect any material that blows into Alloy Steel Rods' premises. Soil was now used to cover loose material on windy days to prevent rubbish blowing away. Bradwells had not occupied the premises until October 1985 so it could not be responsible for the smells complained of in the summer. Attercliffe was an industrial area and there was always bound to be rubbish around, he said. Alloy Steel Rods itself burned rubbish once a week, thereby creating both smoke and sold.
Ryals Bradwell, the firm's proprietor, said he had been in business for 16 years. The practice was to hire out the skips, bringing the contents back to the yard to sort out any saleable items before the remainder was taken to the tip.
Guard argued that Alloy Steel Rods' complaint was more against the rubbish and was not in relation to the vehicles themselves.
The LA said that a prohibition notice had recently been imposed on one of Bradwell's vehicles and it was reported that the inspection records left something to be desired. In reply Bradwell said that he was currently only operating one vehicle.
Renewing the licence only in respect of two of the three vehicles applied for, Whalley directed that a further fleet inspection be carried out by the vehicle examiners within 12 months.
