TWO FAMILY operations which failed to appear at a public inquiry faxed a sick note on behalf of one of its directors, trying the patience of the Deputy Traffic Commissioner, who declared the transport manager should have been present to answer questions.
The licence held by Sheffield-based SC Haulage was revoked by North Eastern DTC Elizabeth Perrett. She gave the associated Huddersfield-based Timerheath 21 days to inform her "exactly what was going on" or have its new licence application refused.
SC Haulage, whose sole director was Simon Graham Carr, held a licence for three vehicles. Towerheath, whose sole director was Christopher Graham Carr, was seeking a licence for two vehicles and two trailers. Neither company attended the Leeds public inquiry and the DTC said the nominated transport manager of both companies, Diane Carr, had sought an adjournment the previous day on the grounds that Graham Carr was off work sick. She had faxed a sick note that referred to "Graham Carr".
The DTC could not tell which Mr Carr was ill and she had hoped that the transport manager, at least, would have been present to sort it out. She could not be clear about who was doing what, who was ill and why the other Mr Carr was not present.
Companies House records showed that it was proposed to strike off SC Haulage as it had failed to file proper accounts in line with regulations. Simon Carr had written in May to say that he was no longer a director of SC Haulage and did not know why it was proposed to strike the company off; yet Companies House records showed that he was still a director.
Financial information that had been requested in regard to that company had not been forthcoming and Simon Carr had written in September,saying that he wished to "cancel the licence".
Revoking the SC haulage licence on financial grounds,the DTC said she was not prepared to accept its surrender as she took a very dim view of the lack of co-operation in failing to explain what was going on.
Adjourning the 'Fowerheath application. the DTC said she was not prepared to go ahead with that application without someone coming to explain who was who and who was doing what.
