• BARRY HAULIERS Helen and Jeffrey McCarthy, trading as JEM Transport, were warned that their practice of parking vehicles in the High Street had to stop, when they appeared before South Wales LA John Mervyn Pugh.
The LA said that numerous complaints had been received The parking of vehicles outside houses was just not on It had to cease forthwith, otherwise the licence would be in jeopardy.
The McCarthys had applied to add four vehicles and trailers to their existing national licence for two vehicles and trailers, and to change their operating centre from the rear of Woodham Road, Barry Docks, to Number 2 Dock, Atlantic Way. Representations against the application were made by Associated British Ports. For the McCarthys, Norman Lloyd Edwards said they now wished only one additional vehicle and trailer. The Woodham Road site was being redeveloped and until the Atlantic Way premises were ready they proposed using the premises of Mal Davies Transport, D Francis, for Associated British Ports, said that all the access roads belonged to ABP. Although they depended on hauliers, permission was necessary before vehicles could be parked on ABP land. They were becoming more and more concerned about illicit parking, particularly overnight.
The Mal Davies site was leased to South Wales Associated Services and Mal Davies had been included only last October, at the last minute, and had no formal permission.
Following an adjournment for discussions between the parties, Associated British Ports withdrew its representation on the understanding that the Mal Davies premises would only be used on a short-term basis.
The variation, as amended, was granted after the McCarthys agreed to the duration of the licence being reduced so as to expire at the end of September.
