HEARING began last Friday before Mr. S. W. Nelson, Western Licensing Authority, of a strongly opposed application by Rossiter and James, Ltd., Gloucester. The case was adjourned until October 26.
The company wished to vary the conditions of their B licence, and sought to be able to carry general goods within 60 miles and stone for the United Stone concern any distance with eight vehicles. Terms applied for in respect of another vehicle were to carry other goods within 60 miles. The applicants also wished to add a further vehicle to carry general goods within 60 miles.
The British Transport Commission, J. Smith (Bicknor), Ltd., G. Read (Transport), Ltd., H. Marfell and Sons and Mr. R. A. C. Watkins objected.
Mr. T. D. Corpe, for the applicants, said that the case had stirred up a hornets' nest. His clients were applying in a way which would allow vehicles to be interchanged. At present they had a number of licences with various conditions and sometimes found themselves in difficulty. Part of his case rested on the need for tippers for the construction of the Ross Spur by-pass.
Mr. R. Carey, of Tower Hill Transport, Ltd., a supporting witness, said that his company had 260 vehicles and branches all over Britain. If the applicants were successful, the Gloucester branch would be assisted, as they wanted transport for the movement of solid fuel and quarried materials.
A witness from Moreton C. Cullimore (Gravels), Ltd., spoke of a shortage of tippers.
SOUTHDOWN REFUSED PICK-UP
AN application by Southdown Motor Services, Ltd., Brighton, for a pickingup and setting-down point at Aylesbury was rejected by the East Midland Traffic Commissioners at Aylesbury last week, on the ground of insufficient demand.
United Counties Omnibus Co., Ltd., Northampton, objected that such a service would strike directly at, and abstract passengers from, their Aylesbury-Northampton feeder service. The applicants admitted carrying only four passengers during 1958.
