A CARDIFF-BASED scaffolding company whose five-vehicle licence was suspended when it failed to appear at a public inquiry in August. has had the licence cut to two vehicles by the Welsh Traffic Commissioner, David Dixon.
Orange Scaffolding (Cardiff) had been called before the TC because of concern about its maintenance record and the use of more vehicles than were authorised. The TC said that in August it appeared, from the record of prohibitions and two maintenance investigations, to be one of the worst cases of neglect to come before him. But he said he had been reluctant to make a decision without hearing from the company.
Managing director William Horrigan said he ran the company on his own. He had been ill over the past 18 months and also had to look after his elderly parents. He engaged a transport manager to deal with the work.
Everything was fine at first, but the new employee died suddenly and it all collapsed. He said he had now taken on a local litter and had only two vehicles.
The TC lifted the suspension and cut the licence after being given an undertaking that the company's maintenance arrangements would be assessed, by the end of October, by an outside agency.
