Haulier is Told
THE West Midland Licensing Author' ity, Mr. J. Else, warned a Stoke-onTrent hauFer, after a breach of his normal user had been disclosed at Hanley last Friday, that he should inform the Authority if there were any future changes in the nature of his business. He advised the operator, Mr. R. L. Llewellyn, that he would gain great assistance regarding haulage if he read some of the trade papers.
Mr. Llewellyn applied for renewal of his A licence for one vehicle with cond:tions enabling it to carry sand, gravel and coal. He said that until 1956 he had been carrying these commodities, but then the work had ceased. Shortly afterwards he had accepted salt traffic for the Imperial Chemical Industries, Ltd., and
gradually his business had changed until last year 80 per cent, of it had been the carriage of salt.
The vehicle had been stopped by a Licensing Authority officer who, on inspecting the log book, had noticed there was a breach of the conditions and had said the matter must be put right at once, Mr. Llewellyn said he wanted to do this now, The salt traffic had increased so much that now he carried coal and gravel only intermittently.
The Licensing Authority, granting the renewal, said salt would have to be included in the normal user and sand, gravel and coal must be deleted. Nevertheless, these latter commodities could still be carried in small quantities as the vehicle was on A licence.
