• The North Western deputy LA held another public inquiry in Manchester last week to hear further short-term licence applications for vehicles to work on M62 motorway (CM February 14).
There were five applicants who wished to work for CMA Contractors Ltd., Manchester, on the Whitefield-Yorkshire border section of M62. K. L. Varmar of Halifax, M. H. Shar of Bury, R. J. Smethurst of Kearsley and M. Rashid of Blackburn were applying for one tipper each and W. K. Berry of Biackley for three.
For the applicants, Mr S. Moss said they wished to carry excavated materials and tippable road materials on behalf of this contractor within 25 miles of Heywood for Sir Lindsey Parkinson Co. Ltd. Mr. G. Eustace, office manager of that company, said the total tonnage involved was 2im and CMA, as its main supplier of materials, would be required to move the daily tonnage of 15,000 over two years.
Mr. M. A. Chowdry, director of CMA, said he required 100 vehicles a day. Previously 25 had been working on its C-hiring margin due to expire next month. His company had leased two quarries in Shuttleworth and Heywood.
Mr. Smethurst said he had been an owner/ driver for 14 months, working firstly on M6 at Tebay where the operating conditions had become too dangerous and the rates uneconomic. He considered the bs per ton from Shuttleworth to Whitefield offered by CMA "exceptional".
Mr, Berry had previously operated his three vehicles on C licence selling his own ash and had also put one vehicle on the quarry work which had earned C100 /0'120 for a 104--hour day.
The deputy LA granted these short-term licences but said extra information would be needed for the substantive licences.
M and W. Meechan, of Glasgow, applied at the same hearing for 18 tippers plus 10 to be hired on short-term for excavating materials and backfill within 15 miles for Reed and Mallik Ltd. at Worsley.
Mr. K. L. Morris, office manager of Reed and Mallik, said there were 60,000 tons of fly ash and 100,000 tons of other material, approximately 2,000 tons daily to be moved. Meechan who had worked on other motorways had proved most reliable and would be under the company's direct control. In February, Bulk Tippers (Cheshire) Ltd., who had objected to an application to carry pulverized fly ash out of Edgecroft Power Station, had raised the rate agreed in court by 12 per cent when they were offered work afterwards.
He said he could not say whether Reed and Mallik would accept a rate of 5s 9d per ton to dig and haul p.f.a. from Carrington Station to Worsley or how it compared with the rate now being paid.
Mr. W. Meechan said he had a fitter, an A55 van and a mobile workshop to maintain his vehicles on sight. His 8-ton capacity vehicles were more soitable for roadstone than fly ash. Mr. T. Pilkington, transport manager, TBR Transport Ltd., said, in conjunction with North Western Tippers Ltd., he could cope with 2,000 tons of p.f.a, a day. Mr. G. L Chester, Bulk Tippers, said following his offer of 4s 6d at the last inquiry he had never quoted any other rate nor indeed had any rate been quoted to the company by Reed and Mallik. By fitting in another run his vehicles could cope with another 500 tons daily.
The deputy LA said he could not see any urgent need before the substantive application was heard and could not grant the short-term licences.
