4,16 • A bankrupt has had his 0
licence renewed LA Martin Albu at a Manchester public inquiry, even though he currently has no vehicles.
Buick Frank Dennington, who traded as Huthwaite Traction International and now trades as D D International, had applied for renewal for three vehicles and two trailers based at the Alfreton, Derbyshire premises of J Ryan Transport.
He told the LA that he hired a vehicle and then hired a trailer from the company he was working for.
He had gone bankrupt after he had made an offer which his creditors refused to accept and the Official Receiver had told him to continue trading.
Dennington said he was declared bankrupt two years ago but Albu commented that he had failed to notify the LA of that fact.
Albu said he had received coinplaints that vehicles were not being parked at Dennington's original operating centre. Dennington said he had bought the property because the previous owner had permission to operate tippers, but the council decided to withdraw that permission and he was prosecuted before the magistrates. He had also had problems with travellers who appeared in an adjacent field. He blocked them in with 12 trailers, the trailers were still there and the travellers had not returned.

Renewing the licence, Albu said it was an unusual situation. He warned that Denning-ton must not regularly park vehicles at his home address, and he must notify the Traffic Area if he ran into any more financial problems.
