IGHT Lincolnshire hauliers and the
British Transport Commission were spccessful on Tuesday in appeals to the
Transport .Tribunal against the East
Midland Deputy. Licensing Authority's grant of an A licence for a lorry, to be based at Louth, to C. P. Marshall (Transport), Ltd., Ashbyville, Scunthorpe.
Mr. Hubert Hull, president, said the Tribunal thought that they knew too little about Marshall's business as a whole to form any conclusion whether there should be an additional vehicle.
It was a mistake, where two bases were concerned, that the Tribunal
should have figures relating to only one base. Marshall's had bases at Louth and Scunthorpe and the Tribunal thought it was essential to have figures for the wliole fleet.
Refusing an application for an adjournment to produce these figures.
Mr. Hull said that there might be a case if the proper figures were considered at a fresh hearing. Therefore, in allowing the appeal, they would not remove the vehicles from the road. pending a fresh application.
The Tribunal's order would be suspended for three months on condition
that Marshall's made a fresh application or until the new application was determined by the Licensing Authority.
