Licence refused as manager unfit for job
AN OPERAIOR based in Birmingham has been refused an 0-licence following a Traffic Commissioner's ruling that his nominated transport manager was unfit for the job. The decision by the West Midlands Traffic Commissioner. Nick Jones, came after Gary Southall, trading as National Parking Control, nominated David Armishaw. He had answered an advert from Armishaw in a trade magazine. Southall had lodged an application for an international licence for two vehicles.
Jones said that Armishaw, who did not attend the public inquiry, had a history of investigations by TCs, and TC Tom Macartney had held that he had lost his repute.
In his letter, saying that he would not be attending. Armishaw said: "I do not answer to you or anyone else. I do not recognise you as a body of authority." In a subsequent letter, Armishaw said: -Legal action would be used to put you commissioners in your place once and for all, just when, you'll have to wait and see."
The TC regarded the letters as indicators Armishaw was not going to do what TCs required in terms of regulating safety and having effective, continuous control and responsibility for vehicles. Also, he was not entitled to advertise as a qualified transport manager since he had lost his repute.
Jones was satisfied Southall had done what he could to obtain a transport manager, and there was no reason why a licence could not be granted in the future if he found an independent transport manager.
