• Maintenance problems have led to Blands of Cottesmere to appearing at disciplinary proceedings before Eastern Traffic Commissioner Brigadier Compton Boyd.
The Brigadier was considering action against the firm's eight-vehicle PSV Operator's Licence, together with an application by Anthony and Ian Bland, the son and grandson of licence holder Irene Bland, to take over the business.
He granted the new partnership an eight-vehicle li cence, but only for a probationary period of 12 months.
Boyd said that during 1989 two immediate prohibitions endorsed neglect and six delayed prohibitions had been imposed on the firm's vehicles, despite a warning letter in March.
Ian Bland said his father Anthony had been brought in to control the maintenance. An additional fitter had been taken on and his father checked the work done by the fitters. A commercial garage would check over the vehicles before their annual tests to see that they had got them right.
