ikN application by Inverdon Transport Co. Ltd., Nigg, Aberdeen, to add three vehicles of 27 tons and three refrigerated containers of 9 tons to an A licence was granted at Aberdeen last week by Mr. A. B. Birnie, the Scottish deputy Licensing Authority. Normal user of the licence is: Frozen foodstuffs, meat, meat products and offals, poultry and °fiats and other foods requiring refrigerated transport within Scotland, and to London, North, Midlands, West and South West England, and Wales. Objectors were British Railways and British Road Services.
In evidence, Mr. A. Hollingsworth, on behalf of Mac Fisheries Ltd., said the company bought large quantities of frozen chickens from Ross Chicken (Aberdeen) Ltd. and would buy many more if he could be sure of refrigerated transport. He found a great shortage of this type of vehicle in Aberdeen.
Mr. A.. B. Thain,. managing director of Ross Chicken, said that all his transport was arranged through the applicant, and lately he had been dissatisfied; it was essential that refrigerated transport be used, as customers demanded it. Mr. Thain added that he could not see how his traffic could be moved with present availability.
In granting the application, Mr. Birnie said he was satisfied that the applicant's fleet was fully employed and he already had knowledge of transport difficulty during the summer months.
