granted an in'crease in vehicle authorisa4ion led to Solihull ownerdriver Brian Andrews, trading as B Andrews Haulage, appearing at disciplinary proceedings before West Midland Licensing Authority John Mervyn Pugh.
Andrew's application to increase his licence authorisation to two vehicles had been granted in January 1988. A fee request was sent in April but nothing was heard. A further request was sent in August. Andrews replied to say he no longer had the contract for which he wanted the second vehicle. The Traffic Area wrote to say that it was still necessary for him to pay the fee, but a credit would be given. No reply was received.
Andrews said he had no real excuse. He had not been well, which had not helped, and for the present he was content with one vehicle. Mervyn Pugh said it would be better if Andrews kept two vehicles on the licence, as he would need a margin if he wanted to hire a vehicle if his vehicle broke down. Taking no action, Mervyn Pugh said he understood the reasons for what had occurred.
• The PSV 0-licence held by Ward Bros (Lepton) has been curtailed to expire at the end of March by North Eastern Traffic Commissioner Frederick Whalley. The company holds a licence for 10 vehicles.
After evidence of prohibition notices placed on the company's vehicles, breaches of drivers' hours regulations, and that the operation was in the name of Ward Bros (Huddersfield) and not Ward Bros (Lepton), which had been dormant since Januat:y 1980, (CM 23-29 March) Whalley commented that the company had done most things wrong.
