A N intensive check conducted in the town by examiners of the West Midland Licensing Authority resulted in the conviction of 18 drivers and employers at Leamington Spa magistrates' court on Monday. They pleaded guilty to 12 summonses of failing to keep records and seven of using goods vehicles without C licences. Mr. T. A. Matthews, for the Licensing Authority, said the check—carried out on January 20-21—was to remove any doubt in Leamington about the conditions for C-licensed vehicles. He told the court that many additional. cases had been dealt with by warnings. "Any application which came in within seven days of the check was forgotten," he said. The magistrates imposed fines totalling £6 with costs of £1 2s. 64. on John Knott of Southam Road, Hanbury, who pleaded guilty to two offences of failing to display a C licence and failing to keep records. His driver Roy Arthur Golder, of Box Hedge Terrace, Banbury, was fined £2 for failing to keep records.
