SMALL Warwickshire ich company, which has n a High Court appeal with ;ts over its local council's ler to ban the use of its prees as a coach station, is w planning to move its dness to another site.
md Solihull Metropolitan sough Council will be left to the costs — which are !ly to run into four figures. ;eorge Day, managing ctor of Mid-Warwickshire tors Ltd, of BalsaII Cornn, said: "I don't know yet .ctly what the cost to the mcil will be, but the whole has been a waste of time. The site is already too small for us, and we would like to move to a bigger depot. The trouble is that getting planning permission around here is like looking for gold dust — there is no commonsense in Balsa11 Common."
He started the business five years ago and now has a fleet of 15 coaches, carrying over 1,000 people a day on routes agreed with the West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive.
An order banning the use of the company's land as a bus and coach station was made by Solihull Council in August 1975, and was approved by Environment Secretary Peter Shore.
