• Protesting residents were satisfied after King's Lynn, based Dennis Crofts, who trades as D W Crofts Haulage, agreed to environmental conditions for an additional operating centre he was seeking because a driver was taking a vehicle home at night.
Crofts had been seeking the renewal of his two-vehicle licence, with one vehicle to be based at Hilgay, near Downham Market, before Eastern Deputy Traffic Commissioner John Stevenson.
Neighbouring residents were concerned about the use of an access track into West End, and they were worried about other vehicles using West End to get to Crofts' yard. They also wanted the vehicle parked on the western side of the site in order to reduce noise levels.
For Crofts it was said that Hilgay was only going to be used overnight to park the vehicle driven by a Mr Bishop.
Stevenson granted a licence with conditions that prohibited authorised vehicles using any access other than that leading to the A10, and that the vehicle must be parked on the western side of the operating centre.
