Manufacturers and Traders and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents have indicated their support for the resolution of Herefordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire road safety committees that side windows in vans should not bring them into the class of purchase tax applicable to private cars (The Commercial Motor, March 12).
This was stated at Kenilworth last week by Mr. M. J. Miles, Coventry road safety officer. He said that the matter arose when Coventry Water Department wanted to convert 23 vans and discovered that it would cost £100 per vehicle in additional tax. External mirrors were fitted instead. The fitting of side windows in such vans should be encouraged, he said, for safety reasons.
£58,000 SURPLUS
DESP1TE a drop in passengers carried, Middlesbrough Transport Department expect to show an operating profit of £58,000 when the current financial year ends next month. The surplus is attributed to fare increases introduced more than a year ago.
