THE IMPENDING changes to operator licensing were discussed on Tuesday, when John Clement, chief executive and chairman of Unigate, opened new administrative premises for Wincanton Transport at Cale House, Wincanton.
Introducing Mr Clement, Charles Lawrence, Wincanton managing director expressed re gret at Mr King's absence, especially since his opening remarks were to centre on the new conditions attached to 0-licence applications.
Mr Lawrence expressed deep concern over the new requirement in the 1982 Transport Act that 0-licence applications would require to be published in the press in addition to the official publication Applications and Decisions.
He considered the requirement would create and encourage opposition from landowners and tenants in other areas, especially at renewal time.
