• North Western LA Roy Hutchings has decided to renew the licence of J Bibby Agriculture without restrictions — despite representations from a local resident complaining of the use of a vehicle from the site for the past 12 years.
The company had applied for renewal for 16 vehicles in possession with three vehicles and one trailer to be acquired. Thirteen vehicles are based at Langwathby Penrith with one vehicle at each of the following depots: Appleby, Brampton, Deer Holme Pastures and Temple Sowerby. A local resident who runs a pottery business in a converted barn adjacent to Deer Holme Pastures has objected to the parking of Bibby's truck because she fears it would establish a precedent for other operators to use the site. Hutchings, however, feels that there was no action he could take to assist, after hearing that the company has operated from the site for 12 years and has established user rights.
